Lyrics for Perfect Sense, Pt. II
Can't you see? It all makes perfect sense Expressed in dollars and cents Pounds, shillings and pence Can't you see? It all makes perfect sense Little black soul departs in perfect focus (hold on, soldier) Prime time fodder for the News at nine (hold on, hold on, soldier) Darling, is the child warm in the bed tonight? Hi, everybody, I'm Marv Albert, and welcome to our telecast Coming to you live from Memorial Stadium It's a beautiful day And today, we expect a sensational match-up But first, our global anthem Can't you see? It all makes perfect sense Expressed in dollars and cents Pounds, shillings, and pence Can't you see? It all makes perfect sense And here come the players! As I speak to you now The captain has his crosshairs zeroed in on the oil rig! He's at periscope depth It looks to me like he's going to attack! By the way, did you know that a submarine captain Earns 200,000 dollars a year? That's less tax, Marv Yeah, less tax, thank you, Edward You're welcome Now back to the game He fires one! Yes! There goes two! Both fish are running! The rig is going into a prevent defense! Will they make it? I don't think so! Look out! Look at that baby burn! Can't you see? It all makes perfect sense Expressed in dollars and cents Pounds, shillings, and pence Can't you see? It all makes perfect sense Can't you see? It all makes perfect sense
