Intro

I've heard about a great big swindle

 I read about it in a book

The book flew out the window

 Was later found by thieves and crooks

And now

Or we'll just have to line back up

 And wait

 So we wait

Whiplashing us round and round

It's quite a slow disaster

But people keep on falling down

 As they wait

 We wait

 And we wait

 We wait

 And we wait

 We wait

Hallelujah!
