Lyrics
Viva Pa Ubu
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here is a song for all you Ubists
Fat & loathsome,
Rich Unscrupulous,
Horrible, ghastly to be with.
Ye Gods! What a bashing!
You'll get what you deserve.
We have ways, Messieurs the Rich.
Hit 'em! Go on hitting 'em!
Ah, what a delight it will be to
See our sweet friends again,
Our dear friends,
Smiling, cheerful & well fed.
Look! Look at their hats shining,
What high rents they're demanding.
Come On, Forward March - We can
Do with you, Phynancial Gentlemen.
(Strike up the Phynancial song!)
Long Live Pere UBU,
Our Great Phynancier
Tang Tang Tang Tang Tang Tang
Tang Tang Tang Ta Tang!
