The people's flag is slightly pink,
It's not as red as most folks think.
We must not let the people know
What socialists thought long ago.
Chorus:
Don't let the scarlet banner float.
We want the middle class's vote.
Let our old-fashioned comrades sneer,
We'll stay in power for many a year.
Some years ago the flag was red;
No-one knew then what was ahead.
It witnessed many a deed and vow -
We cannot use that colour now.
Chorus
It well recalled the triumphs past,
It gave the hope of peace at last
But once in government it's plain
The red flag none shall see again.
Chorus
With heads uncovered once we swore
Always to bear it on before.
With power now our first concern
We have to let the red flag burn.
