Canticle Composed While Listening to Fireworks in Dublin on Hallowe'en Night

With sincerest apologies to Anni-Frid, Benny, Björn and Angetha. You know, it's hard not to notice that not only would the great Swedish nation not put up with this sort of hooliganism, they wouldn't even have the population who'd do it in the first place. Sigh, and double sigh.

Can you hear the bums Fernando?
I remember long ago when people still had rights
In evening's twilight Fernando
You could read or watch the telly or do anything you choose
You didn't need to board the windows
Or hide behind the curtains with your head down at your shoes

Say good luck to that Fernando
Those days are history, and now scobies call the shots
How simple must you be Fernando?
When the best way to spend your time is playing with a cracker
Can't they just live and let live
Or is it in their stars to always act the knacker?

There was something in the air tonight
It has to be the cor-dite Fernando
It was coming with a flash and bang
A pikey boomerang Fernando
Do you ever think we'll catch a break?
Well, I don't know,
I hope they blow themselves to Hell
And their mates as well
Fernando
