Kinnochio Lyrics - Chumbawamba

Are you sitting comfortably? 

Then I'll begin 

The Story Of Kinnochio 

The man who ran the other party pondered the size of his nose 

A man who pleaded for leadership and groveled more than most 

He scabbed and he lied and he nodded and smiled and he sunk down low 

Whilst the nose at the foot of his happy face slowly began to grow 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la 

Little by little he noticed that his nose's enormous size 

Was in direct and equal proportion to his political compromise 

Despite his strenuous efforts to put the world to rights 

His nose continued to slowly extend as he moved towards the right 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la 

Eager for power and groveling for votes 

You could measure his popularity by the increasing size of his nose 

A dancing puppet grafted in wood 

Controlled by strings operated from above
