"Get em out by Friday, you don't get paid till the last one's well on his way
Get em out by Friday, its important that we keep to schedule, there must be no delay"
"I represent a firm of gentlemen who recently purchased this house and all the others in the road
In the interests of humanity we've found a better place for you to go-go-go-go-go"
"Oh no, this I can't believe, oh Mary, they're asking us to leave"
"Get em out by Friday, I've told you before 's good many gone, if we let them stay
And if it isn't easy, you can squeeze a little grease and our troubles will soon run away"
"After all this time they're asking us to leave, and I told them we could pay double the rent
I don't know why it seemed so funny, seeing as how they'd take more money
The Winkler called again, he came here this morning, with four hundred pounds and a photograph of a place he has found
A block of flats with central heating
I think we're going to find it hard"
"Now we've got them, I've always said that cash, cash, cash can do anything well
Work can be rewarding, when a flash of intuition is a gift that helps excel, sell, sell"
"Here we are in Harlow New Town, did you recognise your block across the square over there?
Sadly since last time we met we've found we've had to raise the rent again, just a bit"
"Oh no, this I can't believe, Oh Mary, and we agreed to leave"
This is an announcement from genetic controlยฆ "It is my sad duty to inform you of a 4 foot restriction on humanoid height"
"I hear the directors of Genetic Control have been buying all the properties that have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold
It is said now that people will be shorter in height, they can fit twice as many in the same building site (They say it's alright)
Beginning with the tenants of the town of Harlow
In the interests of humanity they've been told they must go, told they must go-go-go-go"
"I think they've reached a new deal, a dozen properties we'll buy at five and sell at thirty four
Some are still inhabited, it's time to send the Winkler to see them, he'll have to work some more"
With land in your hand, you'll be happy on earth, then invest in the Church for your heaven
