Cardboard Suitcase Lyrics by Judge Smith

Zoot Suit

0

He’s got a cardboard suitcase
And he’s filling it up
And a plastic rucksack
From the last World Cup
He had to sell his moped
Just to bribe the man
But he got his visa
And he got a plan
He’s gonna get out of Whogivesadamnistan
He’s got a scrap of paper
With a Bristol address
It’s his second cousin
Well, more or less
He’s got a one-time ticket
On the Eurobus
He hasn’t told his Mother
‘Cause she’d make a fuss
But he doesn’t see why he shouldn’t be one of us
Just like the Romans and the Saxons
And the Vikings and the Jews
They all shot their load
In my genetic code
I expect it’s the same with you
He isn’t a crazy
He won’t go beserk
He don’t want a handout
He’s not afraid of work
And he thinks we’ll like him
From what he’s read
Maybe find some friends here
Maybe find a bed
And no more soldiers hitting him round the head
But there’s a situation
At his cousin’s place
‘Cause the Immigration
Are on his case
No time for integration
That’s a lifetime career
And assimilation
Takes a hundred years
So for now he thinks he’ll quietly disappear
Like the Normans and the Lollards
Just like the Huguenots
They all had their way
With my DNA
That’s the way that a nation grows
Like a cardboard suitcase
When you’re filling it up
Like a cardboard suitcase
You gotta fill the thing up
I’m just a cardboard suitcase
They all filled the thing up
We’re just a cardboard suitcase
You never fill the thing up
