Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGGEEFFHH| There is far too much of the suburban classes | A |
| Spiritually not geographically speaking They re asses | A |
| Menacing the greatness of our beloved England they lie | B |
| Propagating their kind in an eightroomed stye | C |
| Now I have a plan which I will enfold | D |
| There s this to be said for them they do as they re told | D |
| Then tell them their country s in mortal peril | E |
| They believed it before and again will not cavil | E |
| Put it in caption form firm and slick | F |
| If they see it in print it is bound to stick | F |
| Your King and your Country need you Dead | G |
| You see the idea Well let it spread | G |
| Have a suitable drug under string and label | E |
| Free for every Registered Reader s table | E |
| For the rest of the gang who are not patriotic | F |
| I ve another appeal they ll discover hypnotic | F |
| Tell them it s smart to be dead and won t hurt | H |
| And they ll gobble up drug as they gobble up dirt | H |
