To the tune of John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’.
A mournful John at the piano and an empty chair beside him.
ACTION!
Imagine no Alan Yentob
It’s easy if you lie
No big time presenter needed
Just pre-shot hmms and a sigh
Imagine all those expenses
Living for freeee… (aside)… oh lucky me!
Imagine jetting to any country
It isn’t hard for Al and his Pals
No need to Meet or Question
And no Researching too
Imagine all those people
Taking the total piss…
You may say I’m a schemer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join TV
And the world will blag as one
Imagine no commissions
I wonder if Blue Peter can
No need for Socks or Cookies
A Network without phone-in shams
Imagine no more telly people
Deceiving all the world…
You may say I’m a schemer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will do Noddies at no-one
(With respect to JL).
