If the euro replaces
the pound
It's still likely to be
shiny and round
Rich may switch the
way they feel rich but
not the man who's
alive or the man
who has drowned
Man who has
drowned
Keeping pounds
only makes sense
If you're worth more
than ninety-nine
pence
Those who have a lot
and those who
have not remain francs
marks pesetas or cents
If money is the
root of all evil
What does that
make lover of pound
We'll be eating frogs
and modelling clogs
and you'll be hunting
french and dutch
with a hound
Now a nation
goes to the vote
So our country has
its name on the note
Same set of people,
same boat
Need their name
in the back
of their coat
Heads or tails can't
have been won
on whose head graced
whatever was spun
If queen's head's
not on money
they've got
It's still business and
money's still fun
If money is the
root of all evil
What does that make
lover of pound
We'll be eating frogs
and modelling clogs
and you'll be hunting
french and dutch
with a hound
Now a nation
goes to the vote
So our country
has its name
on the note
Same set of people,
same boat
Need their name
in the back
of their coat
Now a nation
goes to the vote
So our country
has its name
on the note
Same set of people,
same boat
Need their name
in the back
of their coat
