Elon Musk living up to Spitting image song

Many years ago, at its peak the UK TV show Spitting image released a song

I've travelled this old world of ours from Barnsley to Peru

I've had sunstroke in the arctic and a swim in Timbuktu

I've seen unicorns in Burma and a yeti in Nepal

And I've danced with ten foot pygmies in a Montezuma hall

I've met the king of China and the working Yorkshire miner

But I've never met a nice South African

[Chorus]

No, he's never met a nice South African

And that's not bloody surprising, man

'Cause we're a bunch of arrogant bastards

Who hate black people

[Verse 2]

I once got served in Woolies aften less than four week's wait

I had lunch with Rowan Atkinson when he paid and wasn't late

I know a public swimming bath where they don't piss in the pool

I know a guy who got a job straight after leaving school

I've met a normal merman, and a fairly modest German

But I've never met a nice South African

[Chorus]

No, he's never met a nice South African

And that's not bloody surprising, man

'Cause we're a bunch of talentless murderers

Who smell like baboons

[Verse 3]

I've had a close encounter of the 22nd kind

That's when an alien spaceship (pop) disappears up your behind

I got directory enquiries after less than forty rings

I've even heard a decent song by Paul McCartney's Wings

I've seen a flying pig in a quite convincing wig

But I've never met a nice South African

[Chorus]

No, he's never met a nice South African

And that's not bloody surprising, man

'Cause we're a bunch of ignorant loudmouths

With no sense of humour

[Verse 4]

I've met the Loch Ness monster and he looks like Fred Astaire

At the BBC in London he's the chief commissionaire

I know a place in Glasgow which is rife with daffodillies

I met a man in Kathmandu who claimed to have two willies

I've had a nice pot noodle, but I've never had a poodle

And I've never met a nice South African

[Chorus]

No, he's never met a nice South African

And that's not bloody surprising, man

Because we've never met one either

Except for Breyten Breytenbach, and he's emigrated to Paris

Yes, he's quite a nice South African

And he's hardly ever killed anyone

And he's not smelly at all

That's why we put him prison

[Outro: P. W. Botha, Mr. Welldone]

Frankly, Mr. Welldone, I'm fed up with people from Britain attacking my country for Apartheid

We treat the blacks very well indeed!

I actually employ several kaffirs here in my own home

But Mr. Botha, I haven't seen a single black since I entered this mansion

Haven't seen one? My God, man!

What do you think you wiped your feet on when you came in?

*Attackers storm in and stab P. W. Botha*

You can't put a better bit of Botha on your knife, oi!

It seems very apt right now..
