Thread Name: Lyr Req: 'the bourgeois keep their women in ...'
Subject: Proletarian songs - who knows this one?
This verse is from a song that some people claim was sung by progressive students in Cambridge in the 1930s.

"Oh the bourgeois keep their women
In fancy apartments and palaces.
But the tendency of the rate of profit to fall
Exposes their worn-out fallacies."

Does anyone recognise it? An even greater challenge: can anyone come up with an air to fit the catchy lyric?
