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 ruble'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
