The Pound Is Sinking Songtext / Lyric

The pound is sinking
The peso`s falling
The lira`s reeling
And feeling quite appalling

The mark is holding
The franc is fading
The drachma`s very weak
But everyone is 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 stouts 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 falling
The lira`s reeling
And feeling quite appalling
