The doctrine

Try singing this to the tune "Mairi's Wedding".

The Doctrine

Wullie Bain, o Wullie Bain,
Will ye no' come back again?
Former colleagues still abstain,
in line wi' your Doctrine.

Wullie Bain, o Wullie Bain,
they don't hang their heads in shame.
It's conscience gies their necks a pain.
Thank goodness for your Doctrine.

Who cares if it's right or wrong,
them and us don't get along,
Can't look weak, I must look strong,
I'll follow the Bain Doctrine.

Who cares if it's wrong or right,
the way to vote is out of spite
why agree when we can fight
and follow the Bain Doctrine.

Wullie Bain, o Wullie Bain,
as sure as the rain falls in Spain
the Labour Party will abstain
according to your Doctrine.

Wullie Bain, o Wullie Bain,
who cares if the Jocks complain,
who cares if it seems insane,
to adhere to your Doctrine.

Even if we both agree
Labour matters most to me
so stick it to the SNP
and follow the Bain Doctrine.

Call me clever, call me thick,
Trident lover or peacenik,
I'll stay in this sinking ship
following the Doctrine

Wullie Bain, o Wullie Bain,
Anas says we should refrain
from "playing political games"
- but he still loves your Doctrine!

Wullie Bain, o Wullie Bain
take a moment to explain
what compels you to ordain
this petty little Doctrine.


Yes, a rhyming dictionary was consulted at some points in the composition :)
