Beyond The Pay
The fact that I earn in a minute
More than you earn in a week
That’s just how it crumbles innit
That’s your problem so to speak
Where’s your power of invention?
Wasted like your old age pension
I put pennies in your pocket
Help you with some extra change
That my pay is like a rocket
Shouldn’t seem so very strange
Listen to you, TV pundit
I own all the ads that fund it
Jealousy, sang Billy Fury
Big mistake, a hatecrime frankly
I’m the judge and hang the jury
Would be best if you would thank me
Think that you’re an equal, shall you?
I am truly better value
More sense in my baby tootsie
Than you have in your grey cells
I’m the winner on the FTSE
I’m the one who rings the bells
Anyway I’ve read your emails –
For God’s sake, some of you are females
