Lyrics for The Jet Set Junta

Tick, tock, go the death watch beetles in 茅l presidente's swill Pop, pop, goes the Cliquot magnum at the reading of the will Hiss, hiss, goes the snakeskin wallet stuffed with Cruziero bills Here we come, the jet set junta ] Here we come, the jet set junta ] (Chorus) Broom, broom, goes the armoured Cadillac through Montevideo Rat-a-tat goes the sub-machine gun to restore the status quo Snip, snip, go the tailor's scissors on the suit in Saville Row (Chorus) Thud, thud, goes the rubber truncheon on the Indian peon's heel Buzz, buzz, go the brass electrodes as the flesh begins to peel Rattle, rattle, goes the bullet round and round the roulette wheel (Chorus)
