The Lyrics

Just thought I'd beat the Xmas rush.

It's a pretty well known modern carol, but to save any confusion to those unfamiliar with it, the original has only four verses. I've made it six, by adding a fourth and fifth. So if you're following the link to OS, you skip from verse three to six. If you know the song you should have no difficulty following.

DO YOU FEAR WHAT I FEAR?

Said the night wind to the little lamb
'Do you see what I see?'
(Do you see what I see)
'Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?'
(Do you see what I see)
'A scimitar, flashing in the light
With a blade as keen as frostbite
Little tail, wigwag your goodnight'

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
'Maa maa maa maa ma MAA maa?'
(Maa maa maa maa Maa maa)
(For your information lambs can't talk)
'Maa maa maa maa MAA maa'
(Maa maa maa maa MAA maa)
A peppercorn, a sprig of rosemary
He will roast that lamb tenderly
With mint sauce and pod of the pea

Said the shepherd boy to the banker king
'Do you know what I know?
(Do you know what I know)
Here in my sack, banker king
Do you see what I show? (what I show)
This leg of lamb, serve it hot or cold
Won't you give me silver and gold?
You can pay me in silver and gold'

Said the banker king to the shepherd boy
'Do you want foreclosure?
(Foreclosure)
No credit rate, and default on your loan
I can make you sink like a stone
Everything you've got I will own'

Said the shepherd boy to the greedy banker
'Did you hear what I said? (what I said)
Stick it where the sun don't shine, you wanker
Did you hear what I said? (what I said)
Your plastic loot, it doesn't even fold
You must pay me in silver and gold
Precious metals, silver and gold'

Banker king to the people everywhere:
'Did you hear what he said?
(What he said)
On your knees people everywhere
Listen to what I say!
(What I say)
This child, this child, brings economic blight
Gold stays in Fort Knox, good and tight
Stays in Fort Knox, glittering and bright'.

Some modifications of the pacing for comedic effect. Interesting take on this old classic, updated for the age of foreclosure.

I have no love for Banker kings but I liked this. Three pieces of plastic loot, worth five each.

Thanks to all for the v/c. Didn't quite pull the theme off but I'm glad some people found it good for a laugh.
