The Official Thai Government Newspaper, well one of them. Has this slap-head journalist called Yoon. When he is not having a massage with Anwar Ibrahim he is writing stories having a go at Thaksin. His latest is a 'Thaksin-Rap'.

Trying to redress some form of balance I created an 'Abhisit Rap'.....

All in the worst possible taste you understand.

Grease-Up : The Abhisit Rap

Grease-up


Got grease on ma hair
Let nobody dare
Stan’ around and stare
Took all day to prepare
Gotta take care

I’m man of the moment
Got a great suit
Have de job on default
Perks to boot
Got more than Shearer’s loot

I’m the smarmy man
Hope yo is a fan
No bullets gonna hit me
Fly off de grease
Jus’ yo see

I’s got de knowledge
Been to college
I’m a posh Thai
All smarmy and fly
I’ll sell anything
What ya wanna buy?

Got two left feet
No Thai girl
Gonna grab my meat
All smarmy and fly
What ya wanna buy?

Going for a nap
Jus’ had a crap
Thai country on auto
I’s de man with the strings
Thunderbirds are go

I’s not in a hurry
Puppets don’t need to worry
Gorillas are pulling the strings
Hidden behind the scenes
Or sitting in dem wings

This is the land of fantasy and delusion
If you think I’m in charge
Just an illusion
Conman writ large
Smarmy and fly
Typical rich Thai

I do as I’m told
I wouldn’t be so bold
Born in the land of Black puddin’ and cold

Barcode on my shirt
Always diggin’ in de dirt
If you think you’re free
This aint no democracy

Yo think I’s jockin’
When I say
Red shirts had their day
I’ll put the military in the way
Smarmy and fly
I won’t tell you why

I touch my forelock
Aint no warlock
Can magic away the opposition
With loads of ammunition
Collateral attrition

The reds can complain all they want
Coz’ I always in front
I’m one of the elite
Got two left feet
No Thai girl gonna grab my meat

Thaksin a rat in a trap
Pass me the map
Nicaragua, where’s that?
Smarmy and fly
Politics of the pig sty

Love to be on TV
Greasy and nice
Women love me
The reds are like mice
Catch ‘em in a vice

Running from this big cat
They’ll curse me for that
The old ways are best
Jus’ watch, I don’t jest
Politics of the pig’s sty

Greasy and fly
Can’t beat Phuyai
Peasants know your place
C’mon, that’s no disgrace
Now vanished without a trace

The elite gonna stay top
Not get the chop
We turn the screw
Thailand run by the few
Newspaper man had an op

Reds wasting their time
We control all crime
Elite are sublime
Thaksin’s on the run
We gonna have some fun

The fish stinks from the head
Don’t argue
Or you’ll wind up dead
We are in power
Gonna crush the red shower

Smarmy and greasy
For us
It’s really easy
Farang watch your step
You gonna be next
