Cock a snoot,

Loop the loop,

Hock the hula-hoop,

But now it yo-yo'd back again

Shiver me timbers,

Just jumped ship with a little faith

We could win the championship

Parachute substitute, problem is it's soooo cute

Workless, cashless, hungry and in debt

Outta house, outta home, outta pocket


They persuade you,

That they made you then betrayed you

And they blame you with the power of persuasion

The power of persuasion

The power of persuasion

The power of persuasion


You bought the troll,

You bought the gonk,

You took it home, and put it on a pedestal

We needed a saviour,

But from its behaviour

Why did it have to be so extra-terrestrial?

Tax deductible. Cash corruptible,

Never the less another poolswinner

Penniless dog tooth check,

Cash and carry Find a girl,

Settle down and marry


They persuade you,

That they made you

The proclaim,

And they'll maim you with the power of persuasion

The power of persuasion

The power of persuasion

The power of persuasion


I sold the Eskimo snow

Build the skyline outta playdo

Persuading you that monochrome is dayglo


With the power of persuasion
