The Pound Is Sinking歌词

[00:12.58]The pound is sinking, the peso's failing
[00:18.71]
[00:21.25]The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling
[00:26.89]
[00:30.91]The mark is holding, the franc is fading
[00:34.76]
[00:35.66]The drachma's very weak but everyone's still trading
[00:40.44]
[00:41.71]The market's bottom has fallen right out
[00:44.58]And only the strong are survivors
[00:49.88]
[00:58.05]Well, I fear my dear that it's eminently clear
[01:01.38]That you can't see the trees for the forest
[01:03.36]
[01:05.33]Your father was an extraordinary man but you don't seem
[01:12.44]To have inherited many of his mannerisms
[01:15.80]
[01:21.32]Oh, any of his mannerisms
[01:24.30]
[01:26.97]The dollar's moving, the ruble's rising
[01:31.31]
[01:32.11]The yen is keeping up which hardly seems surprising
[01:37.09]
[01:38.15]The market's bottom has fallen right out
[01:40.82]
[01:41.31]And only the strong are survivors
[01:46.08]
[01:48.88]Hear me lover,
[01:52.54]
[01:53.34]I can't be held responsible now
[01:58.41]
[02:00.06]For something that didn't happen
[02:05.37]
[02:06.47]I knew you for a minute, oh it didn't happen
[02:17.75]Only for a minute, your heart just wasn't in it anymore
[02:27.53]
[02:32.04]The pound is sinking, the peso's failing
[02:38.76]
[02:41.15]The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling
[02:48.90]
