SATIRE: 2 Songs - FUNDRAISING MACHINE & GIMME, GIMME, GIMME

FUNDRAISING MACHINE  [Original lyrics are published at the end of this post]

Gold - we put ours in Swiss Banks
In account number 8-4-7-3
Ah ha ha - Deafies can be pretty lucrative
We pretend that it’s fun
And don’t mind if they work
For us cleaning our rubbish
So as long as hearies stay at number one
Ooh oo oo ooh

Fundraising Machine [Machine]
So much it’s obscene [It's obscene]
Yes you can try [you can try]
To ask for some funding from us
Not a very wise thing to do
[Not a very wise thing to do]
We’d have to postpone conference trips
You can try [You can try]
You can try to hate what we do
But your money makes us - love you

They say Deafies sets the pace
But they cannot deny that
When you’re a hearie and a pretty face
Like us, you will easily win the rat race
[Not a chance, not a chance, not a ch-ch-chance]
So this organisation has wealth
But if you ask us for funding,
And Never volunteer
It makes the CEO cry so hard
Ah ha ha - he’ll have to do the fundraise himself
Ooh oo oo ooh

Fundraising Machine [ing- Machine]
Is the real English Queen [ish Queen]
Yes you can try [you can try]
To ask for some funding from us
Not a very wise thing to do
[Not a very wise thing to do]
You can always volunteer for us
Yes, You can try [You can try]
You can try to volunteer for us
And your free labour makes us - love you

They think Spain is good
[Very much The CEO likes it]
That the poor Deafies there
We’d help them if we could
[That's true] We need it for the confernce in Spain
[Idea Better, that one]
So you see in the end
Even if we break up
Our organisation, we would just merge
With another organisation
Maybe Howie’s Mafia
OOh oo oo ooh

Fundraising Machine [ing Machine]
I will count while you work
[I will count while you work]
Yes you can try [you can try]
To ask for some funding from us
Not a very wise thing to do
[Not a very wise thing to do]
We’d still like to go that conference in Spain
You can try [You can try]
You can try to ask for some money from us
But we won’t give any to you
Give all your money to us
And THAT, will make us - love you

GIMME, GIMME, GIMME [Original Lyrics Here]

Half past twelve
and I’m watchin’ Dr Phil
in my Office all alone
how I hate to spend
Lunchtimes on my own
Dollar signs
blowin’ outside the window
as I look around the room
and it makes me so
depressed to see it needs redecorating
there’s not a volunteer out there
Willing to fundraise for free

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
That dollar in your pocket
Shake your tin can
Make this CEO happy
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
That dollar in your mummy’s purse
Sell alphabet cards
And turn on the tears

[They will give you much more]

Bankers and economists
find the end of the rainbow
with a fortune to steal
it’s so different from
the world I’m living in
tired of TV
I open the bankbook
and I gaze at the balance
but there’s nothing there to see
no a dollar in sight
there’s not a volunteer out there
Willing to work for a slice of bread

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
I want that dollar in your pocket
Look at me, Don’t you want
This CEO to be happy
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
All your daddy’s money
Book me a first class seat
On Emirates to Dubai…

MUSIC MACHINE [Original Lyricss by The HeeBeeGeeBees]

NB This is a satircal song about the pop group ABBA

Gold - we put ours in Swiss Banks
In account number 8-4-7-3
Ah ha ha - Singing can be pretty lucrative
We pretend that it’s fun
And don’t mind if we sing
This rubbish for a month
So as long as we stay at number one
Ooh oo oo ooh

Music Machine [Machine]
Oh keep the words clean [Keep it clean]
Yes you can try [you can try]
To make more money than us
Not a very wise thing to do
[Not a very wise thing to do]
We’d still be much richer than you
You can try [You can try]
You can try to hate what we do
But your money makes us - love you

They say Volvo sets the pace
But they cannot deny that
When you’re just a pretty face
Like us, you will easily win the rat race
[Not a chance, not a chance, not a ch-ch-chance]
So this Bjorn Borg has wealth
But if he carries on winning
Hitting his balls so hard
Ah ha ha - he’ll be playing with himself
Ooh oo oo ooh

Music Machine [ic- Amchine]
Is the real English Queen [ish Queen]
Yes you can try [you can try]
To make more money than us
Not a very wise thing to do
[Not a very wise thing to do]
We’d still be much richer than you
You can try [You can try]
You can try to hate what we do
But your money makes us - love you

They think Scandabrod’s good
[Very much we hjope you like it]
That it makes much more
Bread and butter than we could
{tThat’s shit] We are already rolling in it
[Bloody shit]
Si you se ein the end
Even if we break up
Our marriage we’re still friends
Because money makes it up again
OOh oo oo ooh

Music Machine [sic Machine]
Should be heard and not seen
[Not Seen]
Yes you can try [you can try]
To make more money than us
Not a very wise thing to do
[Not a very wise thing to do]
We’d still be much richer than you
You can try [You can try]
You can try to hate what we do
But your money makes us
Give all your money to us
And that will make us - love you
