The Lyrics
Another song for which I am indebted to "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" for the inspiration.
In a bar by the Commons a Tory MP
Muttered "tillo, Portillo, Portillo"
"But you're a right-winger, pray why should it be
You say 'tillo, Portillo, Portillo'?
Are you going to start a new leadership race?
Do you really want HIM in Ian Duncan-Smith's place?
Are you after the 'caring Conservative face'
of Portillo, Portillo, Portillo?"
I asked him straight up "Are you hatching a plot
for Portillo, Portillo, Portillo"
He looked a bit smug, and replied "No, I'm not
pro Portillo, Portillo, Portillo.
The Conservative Party is in such a mess
Who can get us out of it? Not IDS.
And certainly not somebody who I detest:
Portillo, Portillo, Portillo"
He sat back in his seat and he lit a cigar
(Portillo, Portillo, Portillo)
Saying "no, I don't really like things how they are"
(Portillo, Portillo, Portillo)
For a leadership race, I would feel no remorse
But I can't challenge Ian directly, of course
So I need a more friendly, left wing stalking horse:
Portillo, Portillo, Portillo"
Muttered "tillo, Portillo, Portillo"
"But you're a right-winger, pray why should it be
You say 'tillo, Portillo, Portillo'?
Are you going to start a new leadership race?
Do you really want HIM in Ian Duncan-Smith's place?
Are you after the 'caring Conservative face'
of Portillo, Portillo, Portillo?"
I asked him straight up "Are you hatching a plot
for Portillo, Portillo, Portillo"
He looked a bit smug, and replied "No, I'm not
pro Portillo, Portillo, Portillo.
The Conservative Party is in such a mess
Who can get us out of it? Not IDS.
And certainly not somebody who I detest:
Portillo, Portillo, Portillo"
He sat back in his seat and he lit a cigar
(Portillo, Portillo, Portillo)
Saying "no, I don't really like things how they are"
(Portillo, Portillo, Portillo)
For a leadership race, I would feel no remorse
But I can't challenge Ian directly, of course
So I need a more friendly, left wing stalking horse:
Portillo, Portillo, Portillo"

Tit Willow was originally borrowed by Rowlf and Sam the Eagle.
Who?
You Know Rowlf The Dog and Sam The Eagle from The Muppet Show.
...not sure about your use of the word "originally", then: it's been parodied loads of times, and I'll bet the Muppets weren't close to being first. What did they write about?
The author of the parody has authorized comments, and wants YOUR feedback.
