Don’t Build Your House Next To Mugabe*
Traditional, with alternate lyrics by The Meryl Streep Screachers (Dylan Hichens and Simon van Wyk)
Don’t build your house on the sandy land
don’t build it too near Tim Shaw
Well it might look kind of nice but you’ll have to build it twice
oh you’ll have to build your house once more
You gotta build your house upon a rock (not a sock)
make a good foundation on a solid spot
Well the storms may come and go
but the peace of God you will know
Don’t build your house in Namaqualand
don’t build it too near Zimbabwe
Well a cuppa tea is nice but you’ll have to make it twice
’cause Mugabe’s gonna take your cup away
You gotta build your house in South Africa
make a good foundation out of pancake mixture
Well the storm troopers may come and go
but the peace of God you will know
