nobody knows it
but everyone can see
it’s not just a bit
a whole forest not one tree

so this is what I’ll do
I’m letting you know
I’ll reed some JMH for you
to make your little depressions grow

we’ll set up an act
with crocodiles and clowns
with the necessary tact
and in dressing gowns

we take the cash
and carry it home
hide it in a hole
under the garden gnome

our historical debt
built up under your dominion
been paid for since a long time yet
at least that’s our opinion
