The pound is sinking
The pound is sinkingThe peso's fallingThe lira's reelingAnd feeling quite appalling
The mark is holdingThe franc is fadingThe drachma's very weakBut everyone's still trading
The market's bottom has fallen right outAnd only the strong are survivors
Well I fear, my dearThat it's eminently clearThat can't see the trees for the forest
Your father was an extraordinary manBut you don't seem to have inheritedMany of his mannerismsOh, any of his mannerisms
The dollar's movingThe rouble's risingThe yen is keeping upWhich hardly seems surprising
The market's bottom has fallen right outAnd only the strong are survivors
Hear me, loverI can't be held responsible nowFor something that didn't happenI knew you for a minute
Oh, it didn't happenOnly for a minuteYour heart just wasn't in it anymore
