[Verse 1] The Iron Lady, strong and bold, From Grantham town, she rose to lead! Thatcher said The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money! [Chorus] Heave ho, for Thatcher, stand your ground! Let enterprise and grit abound! Heave ho, no turning back, she cried! With Britain's strength and Britain's pride! [Verse 2] Don't stand ye in the middle way, Thatcher said Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous; you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides! [Chorus] Heave ho, for Thatcher, stand your ground! Let enterprise and grit abound! Heave ho, no turning back, she cried! With Britain's strength and Britain's pride! [Verse 3] She had the patience, it is true, Thatcher said I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end! No pennies fall from heavens blue, Thatcher said Pennies do not come from heaven. They have to be earned here on earth! [Chorus] Heave ho, for Thatcher, stand your ground! Let enterprise and grit abound! Heave ho, no turning back, she cried! With Britain's strength and Britain's pride! [Verse 4] Society? An abstract thought! Thatcher said There is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families! For every battle bravely fought, Thatcher said You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it! [Chorus] Heave ho, for Thatcher, stand your ground! Let enterprise and grit abound! Heave ho, no turning back, she cried! With Britain's strength and Britain's pride!
