4/4 (To a boogie beat, with optional walking bass and pianoforte, guitar, banjo or ukelele accompaniment)
We did it because it was The Right Thing To Do
We care about you and all The People too
We make the tough decisions every single day
We don’t do God (but you might want to pray)
We did it because it was The Right Thing To Do
We did it because it was The Right Thing To Do
A light touch economy benefits me and you
You might hear rumours of a failing bank
But only if you’re swimming in the wrong think tank
We did it because it was The Right Thing To Do
Well, me and my predecessor
We didn’t see eye to eye
But he would say, “I say to you
I’m a pretty straight kind of guy”
We did it because it was The Right Thing To Do
We know where you live and all there is to know about you
If you make an objection, then you must be bent
You don’t need to worry if you’re innocent
We did it because it was The Right Thing To Do
We’re a nation at war again and yes,
For us it was a difficult choice
But look very deeply in my eyes
Listen carefully to my voice…
We did it because it was The Right Thing To Do
If your kit isn’t ready you can march in your walking shoes
It’s worth it to bring another tyrant down
Though we sold him his weapons, last time around
We did it because it was The Right Thing To Do.
