Poem: Coke or Pepsi


18 September 1996

Coke or Pepsi

It's Coke or Pepsi for government you pick,
One of them's named Michael, the other one's Mic.
No matter who you in the Lodge do stick
It's Coke or Pepsi you get to pick.

Vote for Sprite in the Upper House
Or why don't you put mineral water in
It's pure and it's dammed at the Franklin.
Oh but it's expensive and it doesn't have any fizz
and it definitely doesn't get along with big biz!

Me, I've always been a Coke man
Pepsi will send us broke, man.
My mate, he says: get in step, see
Get out there and vote for Pepsi.

Third world friends they ask me what's democracy?
I say it's when you get to vote for Coke or Pepsi
Third world friends they ask me who to vote for and folla
I say whoever can mix 5c of sugar, 1c of water and charge a dollar.

Paul Cheffers
