Cock a snoot,



Loop the loop,



Hock the hula-hoop,



But now it yo-yo'd back again



Shiver me timbers,



Just jumped ship with a little faith



We could win the championship



Parachute substitute, problem is it's soooo cute



Workless, cashless, hungry and in debt



Outta house, outta home, outta pocket







They persuade you,



That they made you then betrayed you



And they blame you with the power of persuasion



The power of persuasion



The power of persuasion



The power of persuasion







You bought the troll,



You bought the gonk,



You took it home, and put it on a pedestal



We needed a saviour,



But from its behaviour



Why did it have to be so extra-terrestrial?



Tax deductible. Cash corruptible,



Never the less another poolswinner



Penniless dog tooth check,



Cash and carry Find a girl,



Settle down and marry







They persuade you,



That they made you



The proclaim,



And they'll maim you with the power of persuasion



The power of persuasion



The power of persuasion



The power of persuasion







I sold the Eskimo snow



Build the skyline outta playdo



Persuading you that monochrome is dayglo







With the power of persuasion
