[Lyric] Treasury Scandal (Atilla the Hun)

I wonder if it's bobol'
What they doing with taxpayer's money at all
I wonder if it's bobol'
What they doing with taxpayer's money at all

All around the town you can hear the talk
Two hundred thousand dollars can't walk
People saying it's a conspiracy
I mean the scandal in the treasury

It was about just eight months past
That the whole of Trinidad stood aghast
When the government made a declaration
That created a great sensation

In the books of the treasury something went wrong
Two hundred thousand dollars could not be foun'
And every clerk say, "It ain't me fault"
So it must be a spirit open de vault

Well now the entire population
Are demanding explanation
For when to balance his books the poor clerks fail
They take him to court and sends him to jail
Some say in baccarat the money los'
Others declare that they buy race horse
That someone stole it we can't deny
For money ain't got wings and it cannot fly

All of this evidence goes to show
They were bobolizing long time ago
In fact, it's an opinion of mine
They carry 'way cash a very long time

I'm sure that near everybody know
How they used to burn the notes long ago
Well, this clever culprit, he use he head
He keep the bank notes and burn up paper instead

Well, I would not have made this song at all
But I ain't got nothing in the bobol
While I, poor Atilla, seeing hell
They carrying away cash and they doing well

For two hundred thousand, take it from me
I would make five years quite happily
And, when I come from jail, what the deuce I care?
I'd be living the life of a millionaire
