What you can
Lyrics and music by Rupert Cobb
Copyright 2000
You've got to take what you can
Before it costs more than man.
My heart wont take another beat
until you've looted every street.
_______
Your oral hygiene does you well,
Keeps you looking like you smell,
An optimistic jelly smile
We see through it all the while.
________
Don’t take for granted shiny days
You'll pay for them ,many ways,
Don’t leave it too late to get on,
You'll find the train has been and gone.
________
While you were sleeping in the cold,
The soil beneath your feet was sold.
The emblem of our sovereign land
Is polished by another hand.
________

Fill all your pockets full of gold,
Eat the chocolate ‘fore it’s old.
Buy your ticket, board the train,
It wont pass this way again.
________
Buy your ticket, board the train,
It wont pass this way again.
Don’t leave it too long to get on,
You'll find the train has been and gone
