Paul, Incorporated (Eddie Biggins)

Things are getting better Says Peter to himself Everything will be okay The company got that big tax break So they’ll take care of him ‘Cause he’s loyal to his job and needs the pay

[chorus:] Then he wonders where his money goes After the bills are paid and all But he can’t see that the company Is robbing Peter to pay Paul, Incorporated

The bosses in the office Seeing Peter’s working hard Toss a crumb from time to time So Peter thinks that they’re all right He smiles and shakes their hands They’ve distracted him enough to hide their crimes

[chorus:]

Things are getting better Says Peter to himself He’s contented with his lot The company’s brand-new CEO Is on the TV now Being interviewed upon his private yacht

[chorus:]
