New Laws Old Habits..

(raagu: Old McDonald had a farm... again loosely based)

Old McMaldives had a chance

Ee ai ee ai oooh

And with that chance she made a Constitution

Ee ai ee ai oooh

With some human rights here, and equality there

Here a right there a right everywhere rights rights

Old McMaldives had a chance

Ee ai ee ai oooh

Old McMaldives changed her Government

Ee ai ee ai oooh

But then again saw the same old story

Ee ai ee ai oooh

No consultations here and sudden decisions there

Here a project there a plan everywhere lags lags

Old McMaldives changed her Government

Ee ai ee ai oooh

Old McMaldives got a new Majlis

Ee ai ee ai oooh

But in that Majlis she put some clowns

Ee ai ee ai oooh

With a walkout here and party politics there

Here a thug there a quack everywhere chaos chaos

Old McMaldives got a new Majlis

Ee ai ee ai oooh

Old McMaldives kept her judiciary

Ee ai ee ai oooh

But that old judiciary kept the same old systems

Ee ai ee ai oooh

With bad judgments here and lack of procedures there

Here a bribe there a release, everywhere crooks crooks

Old McMaldives kept her judiciary

Ee ai ee ai oooh

But Old McMaldives (still) has a chance,

Ee ai ee ai oooh

And with that chance she can still get it right

Ee ai ee ai ooooo

With a free voice here and a wise vote there

Here a voice there a vote, everywhere a choice choice

Old McMaldives (still) has a chance

Eee aiiii eeeee aiiiii ooooooooooh
