The pound is sinking, the peso's failing |
|
The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling |
|
The mark is holding, the franc is fading |
|
The drachma's very weak but everyone's still trading |
|
The market's bottom has fallen right out |
|
And only the strong are survivors |
|
Well, I fear my dear that it's eminently clear |
|
That you can't see the trees for the forest |
|
Your father was an extraordinary man but you don't seem |
|
To have inherited many of his mannerisms |
|
Oh, any of his mannerisms |
|
The dollar's moving, the ruble's rising |
|
The yen is keeping up which hardly seems surprising |
|
The market's bottom has fallen right out |
|
And only the strong are survivors |
|
Hear me lover, |
|
I can't be held responsible now |
|
For something that didn't happen |
|
I knew you for a minute, oh it didn't happen |
|
Only for a minute, your heart just wasn't in it anymore |
|
The pound is sinking, the peso's failing |
|
The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling |
