For the palace they built out of twigs

They'll be more sweetly known as the PHIIGS

Brazil's talent for football is clear
As their hosting the World Cup draws near
And the kink in their plan
For the ole' English fan

It is just not the done thing
If they are out of the ring
And the ref is nowhere in sight

Provincial votes never shall fox us!
This storm we shall weather,
Stay in it together,
And cling to our little red boxes!

For a new IPO
