Do The Books - Eric Stewart

Louise and Morse I am so happy for you

I really got the wobbles when your story blew

I’m so delighted and it’s so marvellous

You really kept your heads and now you can keep your house

I can’t believe what those mothers tried to do

They were liquidating the heart and soul out of you

But your man ain’t blind and he said 'I've seen the light'

Batten down the hatches boys we’re in for a fight'.

Oooh

Do the books, um um um, do the books

I don’t care how long it takes you man

You’ve gotta make 'em look good

Do the books, watch your back now, do the books

I don’t care how long it takes you man, you’ve gotta make 'em cook

Our Mister Brown he’s got a lovely house

But it ain’t kosher man and we know how

Lying, wheeling, dealing, stealing, what a creep

He’s flying Concorde man and that ain’t cheap

This mother froze up when he took the stand

Creative accounting’s getting way out of hand

I pray to God we’ve seen the last of him

But these creatures always find a way out of the bin

Do the books, um um um, do the books

I don’t care how long it takes you man

You’ve gotta make 'em look good

Do the books, watch your back now, do the books

I don’t care how long it takes you man, you’ve gotta make 'em cook

Seize 'em Henry, dig in and bite, we’ve gotta give 'em

The fright of their lives

Seize 'em Henry, the people want blood

We’ve got to clean up the neighbourhood

These pillars of wisdom stand on feet of clay

They’ll rob you blind if you dare to look the other way

You’d better believe they’re playing a dirty game

But you found 'em out man, they’re gonna take the blame

The court is buzzing when the judge gets tough

She said it’s dreadful, man, enough is enough

They scream and holler when the jury say

We find you guilty man and you’re gonna pay

Do the books, um um um, do the books

I don’t care how long it takes you man

You’ve gotta make 'em look good

Do the books, watch your back now, do the books

I don’t care how long it takes you man, you’ve gotta make 'em cook

Do the books, do the books, do the books, do the books

Do the books, do the books, do the books, do the books

Do the books, do the books, do the books, do the books

Do the books, do the books, do the books, do the books

Do the books, do the books, do the books, do the books
