Oh, here's another classic:

Landlord and Tenant

I kept my money in an old tin chest
Till I saw a poster and it said invest;
If you want a bank that'll never go bust
Put your money in the Blue Chip Trust –
We welcome the small investor,
Every man a capitalist.

So I wrote to the Blue Chip right away,
And back came a letter the following day:
"Four per cent in every quid,
If you invest it." So I did –
And I sat back,
Waiting for the dividend.

They came all right, those chips were blue,
But along came a letter from the landlord too:
"Your rent is going up," it said,
"Two pounds a week." Well, I saw red –
I wrote a letter.

To Tentacle Ltd. (that was the name),
I wrote damn quick and said it was a shame;
But Tentacle said, "Well, don't blame us;
We only act for the Blue Chip Trust –
They own the property,
We only collect the rent!"

To Blue Chip, ECI, I went
To ask them why they were putting up the rent;
A young man said, "Well, it distressed us,
But we must think of our investors." –
"I do!" I said.

To pay myself four percent,
It seems I've got to raise my rent;
I can't afford the rent and so
I told myself I've got to go –
A small percentage of me,
Has never had it – so good!

This song certainly explains how the market system operates!

Cheerily,
