Paroles de la chanson Charity Begins At Home par Mike Gibbons

There’s famine and there’s homelessness
There’s injustice and there’s war
There’s genocide and apartheid
It chills me to the core

(sung)
There’s TV appeals with starving kids
That really get to me
But I spent my last two thousand quid
On a new 4K TV

Because…
Charity begins at home
Charity begins at home
Don't come knocking at my door
Or bother me on the phone
Don't send me a heartfelt email
It’ll go in the recycle bin
I won't give a quid for an African kid
I don't care what state he's in

This bloke with a stick and a guide dog approached me in the street
He wanted twenty quid for teaching blind kids how to Tweet
He’d built this braille computer, and needed help from businessmen
So I nicked his idea, passed it off as my own and I took it on Dragon’s Den

Because…
Charity begins at home
Charity begins at home
I don’t care if the kid next door to me
Has a missing chromosome
Well a tenner might feed the starving
And yes I suppose that's great
But it also buys a burger and fries
For myself and two of me mates

Last night I got a phone call from a woman at Comic Relief
She was raising money to pay for repairs to Lenny Henry’s teeth
Because a drunk bloke punched him in the mouth as he hosted a
charity ball
I pondered his tricky predicament
(spoken) You know what I gave him? FUCK ALL!

Because…
Charity begins at home
Charity begins at home
You can shake your tin but you're not coming in
Just piss off and leave me alone
And as for all these refugees
I’ll go out on a limb
And say I don’t feel down when migrants drown
They should just learn how to swim

Of course I’m only teasing, I’m not really that unkind
There’s lots of folk worse off than me like you lot, and the blind
I’ll use their plight as motivation I’m prepared to do my bit
So sponsor me to sit in a bath of beans
While I eat a lump of deep fried dogshit

Charity begins at home
Charity begins at home
Maybe I’ll do a fun run
For Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
And if I do a sponsored skydive
I’ll make sure I break my spine
And I won’t be fazed cos the money I raised
Will end up being all mine

So won't you please give generously!
