d: like a rose garden has to have thorns
n: like a bird likes to live in a tree
d: like you'll never get rid of your shadow
n: dave, you'll never get rid of me

we're full of promise, bright and young
n: i made our parliament d&n: so well hung

d: clegg and dave cameron- i agree with nick although...
n: i'll back him on healthcare, then in for the kill-
the vote referendum, the mansion tax bill
(it's lucky that my pad's just under 2 mill)
but if it gets tricky i can pull my old u-turn 
n: clegg and dave cameron
d: the honeymoon's over, the lesson is learnt-
we're in it together- i'd rather we weren't
d&n: giving up the punch and judy show
(i beat him at tennis you know)

d: top tax down ten percent
n: don't you mean five?
d: solving the welfare trap-
n: 'austerity drive'
d: see money better spent
n: you mean deprive
d: and we'll scrap the green crap
d&n: hug a husky

n: clegg and dave cameron
d: an albatross maybe but hardly a curse - the marriage ain't perfect but could have been worse
at least he isn't miliband

we'll keep it together till 2015
n: or till he can better his deal with the queen
d: society's big but we gotta think lean
we're like a tripod with an extra leg
we're dave cameron and clegg
