The Jet Set Junta

Tick, tock, go the death watch beetles in él presidente's swill

Pop, pop, goes the Cliquot magnum at the reading of the will

Hiss, hiss, goes the snakeskin wallet stuffed with Cruziero billsHere we come, the jet set junta

Here we come, the jet set juntaBroom, broom, goes the armoured Cadillac through Montevideo

Rat-a-tat goes the sub-machine gun to restore the status quo

Snip, snip, go the tailor's scissors on the suit in Saville RowHere we come, the jet set junta

Here we come, the jet set juntaThud, thud, goes the rubber truncheon on the Indian peon's heel

Buzz, buzz, go the brass electrodes as the flesh begins to peel

Rattle, rattle, goes the bullet round and round the roulette wheelHere we come, the jet set junta

Here we come, the jet set junta
