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 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
