This is a work song designed to be an update on a traditional topic. Set in modern Britain during the current austerity era, it provides a wry take on some aspects of the recent job market.
lyrics
MAKING GOOD MONEY
You model financial predictions for banks,
Tappety-click, tappety-click,
Austerity means you don’t get any thanks,
Making good money for bankers.
Chorus: Tappety-, tappety-, tappety-click,
Tappety-click, tappety-click
Tappety-, tappety-, tappety-click,
Making good money for bankers.
A web-site developer, young, bright and bold,
Tappety-click, tappety-click,
Creative designs worth a fortune in gold,
Making good money for dot.coms.
Chorus: As Verse 1.
A fashion icon who’s appearing in Vogue,
Snappety-click, snappety-click,
Her habits fuel gossip, a lovable rogue,
Making good money for clothes lines.
Chorus: Snappety-, snapetty-, snappety-click,
Snappety-click, snappety-click,
Snappety-, snappety-, snappety-click,
Making good money for clothes lines.
Footballers, movie stars and Chief Execs,
Chequity-cheque, chequity-cheque,
Supply and demand has no moral aspects,
Making good money from stardust.
Chorus: Chequity-, chequity-, chequity-cheque,
Chequity-cheque, chequity-cheque,
Chequity-, chequity-, chequity-cheque,
Making good money from stardust.
Uni graduates with student loans,
Blankety-blank, blankety blank,
seeking positions as unpaid interns,
Making good money for misers.
