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 rouble'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, my 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.
