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.

The pound is sinking... The peso's failing...
The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling.
