Song: The Final Countdown

Carol's leaving forever,
No final farewell.
She been given the sack,
This girl who can spell.
The Channel Four suits are to blame.
Will two large and
Four small ever add up right again?

It's the final Countdown
The final Countdown.

Ohh
They offered a hundred and twenty thou, that's all.
Cause ratings are falling, the budget's too small, yea.
But some younger bint who can do the sums will be found. (Be found.)
So Carol we won't miss you so.

It's the final Countdown
Poor Carol letdown
Oh what a putdown
(Her final Countdown)
Boo ho ohh

The final Countdown, boo ho
It's her final Countdown
The final Countdown
The final Countdown
(Her final Countdown)

Ohh
It's the final Countdown
She's leaving forever
Her final Countdown
Can't wait to see her go
Carol's final Countdown
(Her final Countdown)
Ohh her last bloody Countdown
Yea.

Works perfectly for that genre, nice one.

Yep, worked for me too - as soon as you hit the chorus it makes you smile.

If some one doesn't use that it's a tragedy.

I could hear it playing in my head as I read it.

At the same time it's nicely restrained.

A very professional piece of work.

Damn you world, why must every one else be a better song writer than me!

Cheers for the positive feedback.
