Common Spongers Association

 

Bastard, you owe us some cash

Your benefits consist of the dole.

I’m sure you’ve got some money stashed-

Keep jumping through loopholes.

 

Pig, you owe us five grand;

Expertise your duck and dive.

Autumn you see blue skies, white sand,

But this debts outstanding ‘til you die.

 

Think you’ve dodged this money owing,

It’ll increase more than this five K.

On the ‘phone they’ll get to hear me moaning

The staff at the C.S.A.

 

There’s only so much you can hide and run-

They catch-up with criminals like you!

You’ve a caravan, boat, holiday’s abroad- what fun!

And you’ve managed a mortgage too.

 

You owe us fifty hundred pounds-

A chance for your only daughter to thrive,

University, a car, some solid ground,

A lovely natured girl you’ve deprived.

 

Cough up while it’s still five thousand,

Powers to be to put you away.

It’s only a matter of time before you’re found

And then you’ll be forced to pay.
