Don’t Come Seeking Asylum With Me

Author: Steve Bell

Once a bleedin’ Afghan
Camped inside a barbed wire fence
Under the care of the Aussie navy
And he sang as he watched and waited by the barbed wire fence
DON’T COME A-SEEKIN’ ASYLUM WITH ME

Seekin’ Asylum: seekin’ asylum…
Don’t come a-seekin’ asylum with me
And he sang as he watched and waited by the barbed wire fence
DON’T COME A-SEEKIN’ ASYLUM WITH ME

Up jumped an Afghan
Leapt over the barbed wire fence
Up jumped another bold as could be
Into the Outback bravely did they bugger off
DON’T COME A-SEEKIN’ ASYLUM WITH ME
Seekin’ asylum seekin’ asylum…

Off went the Afghan to the British Consulate
“I’m goin’ North to the land of the free”
Down came the Strawman, said
YOU MUST BE JOKIN’ MATE
DON’T COME A-SEEKIN ASYLUM WITH ME…
