Liverpool is the most corrupt local council in England. But hey, at least the river's clean(er).

lyrics

Come on down, the water's lovely
Now you might drown before the toxins get you
But it's at least as clean as our body politic
If you partake of them then both'll get you sick
So come on down, the water's never been better

Come on through, the sight's astounding
'Til we approve another concrete eyesore
Local business is continuing to grow
'Cos there's a Tesco store on every other road
So come on down, the sight has never looked better

We are the pinnacle of political acclaim
We talk of progress whilst remaining just the same
We represent the best that Esmedune can get
In the hues of our rosette

Come on down, the water's lovely
Now you might drown before the toxins get you
And when you've seen what we are doing to this town
You'll be delighted that at least now you can drown
So come on down, the water's never been better.
