To the tune of YOU'VE GOT TO PICK A POCKET OR TWO from OLIVER
[GORDON BROWN (spoken)]
You see, MERVYN...
In this life, one thing counts
In your bank, small amounts
I'm afraid these don't grow on trees
You've got to print-a-tenner or two
You've got to print-a-tenner or two, boys
You've got to print-a-tenner or two
[BANKERS]
Large amounts don't grow on trees
We've got to print-a-tenner or two
[BROWN (spoken)]
Let's show Mervyn how it's done, shall we, my dears?
Why should we break our backs
Making banks lend their cash
Better to make our own income
Better to print-a-tenner or two.
You've got to print-a-tenner or two, boys
You've got to print-a-tenner or two.
[BANKERS]
Why should we raise income tax?
Better print-a-tenner or two.
BROWN:
Fred Goodwin, what a crook!
Huge pension, that he took
He's doing fine since he resigned
Get out and print-a-tenner or two
You've got to print-a-tenner or two, boys
You've got to print-a-tenner or two
[BANKERS]
Fred Goodwin was far too good
He went and got-a-pension from you.
[BROWN]
Take a tip from Sir Fred
Quit while you're still ahead
And on your way take cash today
He went and took a tenner or two
You've got to print-a-tenner or two, boys
You've got to print-a-tenner or two.
[BANKERS]
We can be like old Sir Fred
If we print a tenner-or-two
[BROWN (spoken)]
Stop thief!
Dear oh dear, what a mess
Nought point five percent interest
With savings so low we need some dough
Get in and print-a-tenner or two.
You've got to print-a-tenner or two, boys
You've got to print-a-tenner or two.
[BANKERS]
Savings so low, we need some dough
Get in and print-a-tenner or two.
BROWN:
When I need lots of cash
I come out in a rash
Let's not forget we're quite in debt
We have to print a tenner-or-two
You've got to print-a-tenner or two, boys
You've got to print-a-tenner or two.
[BANKERS]
The country's in a bit of debt
We better print-a-tenner or two!
