Victoria is moving to stage four.
(Dictator Dan’s a fan of Kim Jong-un).
They’re shutting all the gates and every door —
Victoria is moving to stage four.
The piper stands and plays the tune: “It’s war!”
(Dan pays the piper, so he calls the tune).
Victoria is moving to stage four.
(Dictator Dan’s a fan of Kim Jong-un).

Listen guys — there’s a girl on the loose,
And she’s heavy with child we deduce.
She’s a protest inciter;
A damned freedom fighter!
Surround her — then tighten the noose!

Megalomaniac Dan,
He rules in Victoriastan.
He’s a regulator.
A home-grown dictator.
A Stalinist goon with no plan!

Here’s a tribute to brave Chairman Dan;
He’s the pride of Victoriastan.
Call him: “Boof Head! Jug Ears!” —
He’s immune to all smears!
He’s our leader! Our hero! Our man!
