Tune-Click Go the Shears.
Up on the boards the old Herald stands.
Grasping for cash and wringing its hands,
Directors look around and say Murdoch's the go,
Glory if he gets her, won't he make the presses go.
Chorus:
Quick go the shares boys, quick, quick, quick,
High is his bid and his plans are slick.
Holmes a Court looks round but he's beaten by a blow
And curses the old snagger but makes a lot of dough.
In the Middle of the floor in his cane bottom chair,
Sits the chairman of the board with his Wapping great share,
Notes well each bid as it comes on the screen,
Paying strict attention to the profits he'll glean.
(Chorus)
The bidding is over and we've alt got our cheque,
Roll up your swag we're all off on the track,
The next stop tve come to we'll have another bid.
And everyone can be a part of News Unlimited.
(Chorus)
