Nanny State
Nanny State
Don’t forget your seatbelt and fit a smoke alarm,
you know your only human and may just come to harm
Beware of passive smoking, don’t eat too much fat,
watch out for heat loss through your head, always wear a hat
We must eat organic veg and stay away from pylons,
please beware of athletes foot, wear cotton socks, not nylon.
Check out the risk assessments, you must not take a chance,
leave behind those 4-inch heels or it’s not safe to dance
Don’t provide your kids with skipping ropes and forbid them to play conkers,
stabilize them till they’re 21 or you’ll worry yourselves bonkers
So many rules and regulations to put us to the test,
rest easy in the knowledge that Nanny knows what’s best.
