The Lyrics:
Hong Kong is up for grabs
London is full of arabs
We could be in palestine
Overrun by a chinese line
With the boys from the mersey and the thames and the tyne
.......
.......
If you're out of luck you're out of work
We could send you to johannesburg
London is full of arabs
We could be in palestine
Overrun by a chinese line
With the boys from the mersey and the thames and the tyne
.......
.......
If you're out of luck you're out of work
We could send you to johannesburg
Why:
Hong Kong London Palestine Mersey, Thames, Tyne Johannesburg
