[Sussex] "I'll CLI"

[Rob Malpass]

Forgive the top posting but I'm doing it to save those who saw this 
masterpiece first time round scrolling.

I love inventing new lyrics for established songs and this just about takes 
first prize.   Almost as good as "Sag Aloo Wave Goodbye" by Soft Cell.

"Echoing" the words of others - an excellent effort.

Cheers
Rob
