MY FREE TV LICENCE HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY

 
At last I'm seventy five years of age today  
A free TV licence will be coming my way 
One of the perks of getting really old Will come in useful when the weather is cold  

I put on the news and what's this I see 
Seventy five year olds no longer get a licence for free 
How could they could take this privilege away from me 
Can't be right I'm sure you agree 

The TV is company now I'm not good on my feet 
A form of escapism that can't be beat 
It's not right, totally unjust and most unfair
Almost as if the government don't seem to care
