The Pound Is Sinking

The pound is sinking

The peso's falling

The lira's reeling

And feeling quite appallingThe mark is holding

The franc is fading

The drachma's very weak

But everyone's still tradingThe market's bottom

Has fallen right out

And only the strong are survivorsWell 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 mannerismsThe dollar's moving

The ruble's rising

The yen is keeping up

Which hardly seems surprisingThe market's bottom

Has fallen right out

And only the stout are survivorsHear me, my 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 anymoreThe pound is sinking

The peso's failing

The lira's reeling

And feeling quite appalling
