Get ’Em Out by Friday

[Chorus] Get 'em out by Friday You don't get paid Till the last one's well on his way Get 'em out by Friday It's important that we keep to schedule There must be no delay [Verse 1] I represent a firm of gentlemen Who recently purchased this house And all the others in the road In the interest of humanity We've found a better place For you to go, go, go, go, go [Interlude] Oh no, this I can't believe Oh Mary, they're asking us to leave [Chorus] Get 'em out by Friday I've told you before It's good money gone if we let them stay And if it isn't easy You can squeeze a little grease And our troubles will soon run away [Verse 2] After all this time, they ask us to leave And I told them we could pay double the rent I don't know why it seemed so funny Seeing as how they'd take more money The Winkler called again He came here this morning With four hundred pounds And a photograph of the place he has found A block of flats with central heating I think we're going to find it hard [Bridge] Now we've got them I've always said that Cash, cash, cash can do anything well Work can be rewarding When a flash of intuition is a gift That helps you excel (Sell, sell, sell) [Interlude] Here we are in Harlow New Town Did you recognize your block Across the square, over there? Sadly, since last time we spoke We've found we've had To raise the rent again, just a bit Oh no, this I can't believe Oh Mary, and we agreed to leave [Instrumental Break] [Interlude] This is an announcement from Genetic Control It is my sad duty to inform you, [?] Of a four-foot restriction on humanoid height I hear the directors of Genetic Control Have been buying all the properties That have recently been sold Taking risks, oh, so bold It's said now that people will be shorter in height They can fit twice as many in the same building site They say, "It's alright" Beginning with the tenants of the town of Harlow In the interest of humanity, they've been told they must go Told they must go, go, go, go [Bridge] I think I've fixed a new deal A dozen properties We'll buy at five and sell at thirty-four Some are still inhabited It's time to send the Winkler to see them He'll have to work some more [Outro] With land in your hand you'll be happy on Earth Then invest in the Church for your Heaven
