"Ain't it a laugh?
Ain't it a treat?
Hob-nobbin' here
Among the elite?"



"Paris at my feet..."
Paris in the dust...
And here's me breaking bread
With the upper crust!"



"Beggar at the feast!
Master of the dance!
Life is easy pickings
If you grab your chance."



"Everywhere you go,
Law-abiding folk,
Doing what is decent
But they're mostly broke!"



"Singing to the Lord on Sundays..."



"Praying for the gifts He'll send."



"But we're the ones who take it.
We're the ones who make it in the end!"



"We know where the wind is blowing
Money is the stuff we smell."



"And when we're rich as Croesus..."



"Jesus! Won't we see you all in hell!"
