Treasury Scandal

歌詞

I wonder if it's bobol' What they doing with taxpayer's money at all I wonder if it's bobol' What they doing with taxpayer's money at all All around the town you can hear the talk Two hundred thousand dollars can' walk People saying it's a conspiracy I mean the scandal in the treasury It was about just eight months past That the whole of Trinidad stood aghast When the government made a declaration That created a great sensation In the books of the treasury something went wrong Two hundred thousand dollars could not be foun' And every clerk say, "It ain't me fault" So it must be a spirit open de vault Well now the entire population Are demanding explanation For when to balance his books the poor clerks fail They take him to court and sends him to jail Some say in baccarat the money los' Others declare that they buy race horse That someone stole it we can't deny For money ain't got wings and it cannot fly All of this evidence goes to show They were bobolizing long time ago In fact, it's an opinion of mine They carry 'way cash a very long time I'm sure that near everybody know How they used to burn the notes long ago Well, this clever culprit, he use he head He keep the bank notes and burn up paper instead Well, I would not have made this song at all But I ain't got nothing in the bobol While poor Atilla seeing hell They carrying away cash and they doing well For two hundred thousand, take it from me I would make five years quite happily And, when I come from jail, what the deuce I care? I'd be living the life of a millionaire
