G                         C
What a friend we have in Maggie
 G                          D
She has proved she really cares
 G                             C
She is our strength and our salvation
  G        D             G
She's the answer to our prayers

[Chorus]
   G                                C
Who'll take the ball from Maggie Thatcher?
 G                  D
Kick it in another goal
                G                        C
Cause there's plenty time for playing football
  G        D            G
When you're living on the dole

[Verse 1]
 G                                         C
There’s a team in the south they call the tories
      G                          D
For years they have led Division 1
        G               C
In the face of heavy competition
       G      D                 G
They haven’t lost their winning run
   D                                             G
Although they’ve dropped some midfield men fae Scotland
    C        G            D
It has nay upset their strategies
            G                                C
Cause the punters showed a healthy rate of interest
           G         D          G
When they buy shares in their companies

[Chorus]
   G                                C
Who'll take the ball from Maggie Thatcher?
 G                  D
Kick it in another goal
                G                        C
Cause there's plenty time for playing football
  G        D            G
When you're living on the dole

[Verse 2]
 G                            C
Now the tories beat the opposition
       G                          D
The opposition did nay show much sense
            G                               C
Cause they mainly play the ball up tay the left-wing
       G         D            G
And they can be suspect in defence
          D                                G
And they had a bit o trouble with their strikers
     C                   G            D
Who thought they should have a bigger fee
           G                             C
And they chased away a lot of their supporters
           G         D          G
When they showed a militant tendency

[Chorus]
   G                                C
Who'll take the ball from Maggie Thatcher?
 G                  D
Kick it in another goal
                G                        C
Cause there's plenty time for playing football
  G        D            G
When you're living on the dole

[Chorus]
   G                                C
Who'll take the ball from Maggie Thatcher?
 G                  D
Kick it in another goal
                G                        C
Cause there's plenty time for playing football
  G        D            G
When you're living on the dole

[Verse 3]
           G                  C
There’s a sad side facing relegation
           G                                  D
Though the top of the league had been their dream
      G                    C
They tried almost every combination
       G        D           G
Even transfers fae another team
      D                                 G
They even took the field and played two captains
      C                 G            D
Who thought they were really on the ball
         G                               C
Just to find when they heard the final whistle
          G    D                   G
They had only gone and ballsed it all

[Chorus]
   G                                C
Who'll take the ball from Maggie Thatcher?
 G                  D
Kick it in another goal
                G                        C
Cause there's plenty time for playing football
  G        D            G
When you're living on the dole

[Verse 4]
           G                        C
There's a cry fae the terraces of Hamden,
           G                      D
When they show the re-run of the game,
         G                                   C
If the scots had played a different set of tactics,
      G         D                 G
The score would no have been the same
            D                                        G
The Tories say they've put the Great back in Great Britain,
         C               G                D
If that helps us, we’ll have to wait and see
          G                                   C
But they might have put the Scot back into Scotland,
      G            D       G
If Scotland had supported SNP

[Chorus]
   G                                C
Who'll take the ball from Maggie Thatcher?
 G                  D
Kick it in another goal
                G                        C
Cause there's plenty time for playing football
  G        D            G
When you're living on the dole
