Lyrics

That journey to the bank that he made twice a week To cash in on percentage of the cut Life so good, drive so easy The only one he made with peepers shut But eyes are getting wider in the vaults of the bank Calculating draft after draft Adding up just what makes the owner of the yacht Much better than the owner of the raft So give him hands clapping hands Smiling Irish eyes But please don't ever tax his next of kin Strangled by the gap between the treetops and the skies Hollands banking Ireland's sweetest thing Pennies piled high, pounds cashed in Caught between Alsatian and the gates Poor can't risk not having any friends Avaricious can't afford to have a mate The crooks and the criminals The gangsters and animals Fleeing stripped down to the waist Drenched in sweat or blood of their imaginary crimes They were running from a fear called the eighth So give him hands clapping hands Smiling Irish eyes But please don't ever tax his next of kin Strangled by the gap between the treetops and the skies Hollands banking Ireland's sweetest thing
