Lyric The Pound is Sinking

(McCartney)
(2:49)

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 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
