Commonwealth

[Verse 1: Paul McCartney]

Tonight, Enoch Powell said, “Get out immigrants

Immigrants a-better go home”

Hah, hah, hah, hah

Tonight, Harold Wilson said to the immigrants

“You better get back to your Commonwealth homes”

Yeah, yeah, yeah

He said, “Ya better get back home”

[Verse 2: Paul McCartney]

Now, Enoch Powell

He said to the folks

He said you wear the color of your skin

He said he don’t care what it’s all about

So, Ted Heath said to Enoch Powell

He said, “You better get out

Or else you’re going to trial”

Enoch Powell

Enoch, you better go home”

[Verse 3: Paul McCartney]

So, Wilson said to Duchovny, F

“Come on, boy, we gotta swing

We gotta go back to the summit of the hill

And bury those [?] away”

So, Enoch Powell said to Wilson, Heath

“Boy, you Commonwealth”

It's much too common for me, oh yeah

[Verse 6: Paul McCartney]
