New hats and clothes give us a thrill
Our heart sinks when we see the bill
Money comes in, quickly goes out
Like sweet honey, won't hang about
Window cleaners give house a fizz
No point in taking references
On every count they're bound to fail
They gladly tell shock tales of gaol
The government and common man
All follow one same simple plan
Here's a clue into what they do
Spend! Me first, family - last you
Glum accountants keep our accounts
Warns we, and they, spent large amounts
'The world's debts will end in sorrow.'
'Spend today - we'll die tomorrow!'
