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 rouble'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, 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 anymore.
