The Root Of All Evil |
| If 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 |
| Keeping pound only makes sense |
| If you’re worth more than 99 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 modeling 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 modeling 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 |
