Andy was all present and James was all there
And Rebekah was up to her capers
Not that Rupert gave a b***r what they did
As long as they sold his papers
Chorus:
The hacks have plundered
Your mobile number
At the News of the World and Sun
We know just where you live
And who you’re sinning with
And one day without compunction
Before you can get an injuction
We’ll quickly pap and slap you right up there on – page one!

Andy’s up there spinning for his boss at number 10
And James is collecting television
Rebekah’s going horsey-riding with the PM
And outing the paediatricians

Chorus:

The hacks have plundered
Your mobile number
At the News of the World and Sun
We’ve got that email text
We know what happened next
And one day without compunction
Before you can get an injuction
We’ll quickly pap and slap you right up there on – page one!

Andy’s in the dock and James has got the sack
And Rebekah’s trial is pending
But Rupert goes on smiling to himself
As his empire keeps on expanding

Chorus:

The hacks have plundered
Your mobile number
At the News of the World and Sun
We know just where you live
And who you’re sleeping with
And one day without compunction
Before you can get an injuction
We’ll quickly pap and slap you right up there on – page one!
