Wot’s
the point of workin’ ‘ard?
Wot’s
the good of gainin’ riches?
Money’s
mean and banks are bitches;
Profit’s
just a prison yard.
Sling
yer ‘ook an’ sling it stealthy;
Gob
some grub an’ swig some booze,
Find
a place ter kip and snooze-
Now
you’re ‘ealthy, wise an’ wealthy!
Let
the world roll round an’ round,
Wiv
its hard-worked folk in fetters:
All
‘oo think themselves yer betters,
Money-mad
and dooty-bound.
Make
yer choice, there ain’t so many,
No
ambition’s worth a fart;
Freedom
is a work of art-
Take yer stand with uncle Benny!
