All together now: “We all live in a fascist regime, a fascist regime, a fascist regime”

Oh my god, was Yellow Submarine just Cockney rhyming slang this whole time?

Is there such a thing as Scouse rhyming slang? 😉

We don't need it. No one from outside the city can understand a single thing we say anyway.

Using "fascistic" instead of "fascist" would make the rhythm work. Definitely not your point but it bothers me...

The missing syllable in the rhythm is the one that needs the stress, and putting stress on the -ic doesn't sound right.

Here's one that works with the meter better:

"...a fascist fuck regime"

I think it works better this way.

Also, "fascistic" sounds as silly as "racistic" to my ear.

As a trained musicist, I agree.
