Do the Books

Louise and Morse I am so happy for you
I really got the wobbles when your story blew
I'm so delighted and it's so marvellous
You really kept your heads and now you can keep your house
I can't believe what those mothers tried to do
They were liquidating the heart and soul out of you
But your man ain't blind and he said 'I've seen the light'
Batten down the hatches boys we're in for a fight'. Oooh

Do the books, um um um, do the books
I don't care how long it takes you man
You've gotta make 'em look good
Do the books, watch your back now, do the books
I don't care how long it takes you man, you've gotta make 'em cook

Our Mister Brown he's got a lovely house
But it ain't kosher man and we know how
Lying, wheeling, dealing, stealing, what a creep
He's flying Concorde man and that ain't cheap
This mother froze up when he took the stand
Creative accounting's getting way out of hand
I pray to God we've seen the last of him
But these creatures always find a way out of the bin

Do the books, um um um, do the books
I don't care how long it takes you man
You've gotta make 'em look good
Do the books, watch your back now, do the books
I don't care how long it takes you man, you've gotta make 'em cook

Seize 'em Henry, dig in and bite, we've gotta give 'em
The fright of their lives
Seize 'em Henry, the people want blood
We've got to clean up the neighbourhood

These pillars of wisdom stand on feet of clay
They'll rob you blind if you dare to look the other way
You'd better believe they're playing a dirty game
But you found 'em out man, they're gonna take the blame
The court is buzzing when the judge gets tough
She said it's dreadful, man, enough is enough
They scream and holler when the jury say
We find you guilty man and you're gonna pay

Do the books, um um um, do the books
I don't care how long it takes you man
You've gotta make 'em look good
Do the books, watch your back now, do the books
I don't care how long it takes you man, you've gotta make 'em cook

Do the books, do the books, do the books, do the books
Do the books, do the books, do the books, do the books
Do the books, do the books, do the books, do the books
Do the books, do the books, do the books, do the books
Do the books, do the books, do the books, do the books
