(Chris Patten)
Each little drop of rain that falls means a lot to me,
Yes, water is an issue that is hot for me,
I used to be a wet 'till Margaret got to me,
So now my time has come to make a splash!
And what I'm offering is crap for cash! (crap for crash!)
Oh, this is the dawn of a new age,
At last there is money in sewage,
My heart fills with bliss at the mere thought of piss,
It's all underwritten, so do one for Britain! (do one for Britain!)
(unitelligible), celebrate with me,
Just open up your wallets and "flotate" with me,
If you'd like a share come defecate with me,
In each man's life there comes a time to choose,
So now I celebrate your number twos (your number twos)
Oh, this is the dawn of a new age,
At last there is money in sewage,
Now the prospects are lush,
'Cos the city is flush,
So send round the junction your natural function!
Yes, this is the dawn of a new age,
At last there is money in sewage!
Flush the loo, turn the tap,
What I'm talking is crap!
And now any minute,
I'm dropping you in it! (he's dropping you in it!)
