The pound is sinking, the peso's falling
The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling
The pound is sinking, the peso's falling
The lira's reeling and is feeling quite appalling

The market's bottom has fallen right out
And only the strong are survivors

The pound is sinking, the peso's falling
The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling

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
Any of his mannerisms

The pound is sinking, the peso's falling
The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling
