Poverty Pleadin' Peter

(album: Wakey Wakey - 1989)

Peter's moaning groaning moaning, he can't pay his rent
But we've all seen Peter's bank statement
He says he's broke, he must be joking, he's doing fine
It's no secret, Pete's a lucky swine

Peter's on his water bed and Peter says he's skint
But we all know that Peter's made a mint

Peter's pleading poverty, he can't fool me
Coz Peter lives in luxury, he's got... loadsa money!

Peter's got nowt, he's down and out, he tells me and you
But he signs in his BMW
He's got no bread, that's what Pete said, he can't make ends meet
Peter panics in his penthouse suite

What colour yacht should Peter buy? Peter can't decide which
But it's no problem coz Peter's filthy rich

Peter's pleading poverty, he's got... loadsa money!

Peter's pleading poverty, he can't fool me
Coz Peter lives in luxury, he's got...
Peter's pleading poverty, he can't fool me
Coz Peter lives in luxury, he's got... a load o' dosh!
