Stick out your tongue and Drink down all the venom
Off cut throat cuthbert And Millicent St. Cyr
From the real old Macau
To the new False Americas In the liberated territories Unusual suspects shake down Shake down shake down Various dubious characters
Mother's in the kitchen Pickin' bones for breakfast
Boilin' them down by The bushel and the score
Pull out your thumb and Count what's left on your fist
There's a wolf at the window With a ravenin' maw
Did you find how to lie Did you find out how to cheat The elite bleat their obsolete
So are your prospects Exact perfect object
Now if you'd only genuflect They're runnin' wild just like some Childish tantrum Meanwhile we're workin' every day Payin' off the National Ransom
Woe betide all this hocus pocus
They're runnin' us ragged At their first attempt
Around the time the killin' Stopped on Wall St.
You couldn't hold me baby With anythin' but contempt
Letters peal slowly from our speech
The claxton attempts to preach
Stretchin' out for stars Still out of reach Drownin' flailin' outside
Someone's wailin' They're runnin' wild just like some Childish tantrum Meanwhile we're workin' every day Payin' off the National Ransom
They're runnin' wild just like some Childish tantrum Meanwhile we're workin' every day
Payin' off the National Ransom
