The House that Sam Built

(This is a parody using a famous children's nursery rhyme...)

   

This is the house that Sam built.    

And this is a currency unit

Which lay in the house

that Sam built.                                       





   

And that’s the Russian opposition   

all shaven and shorn

those who favour that currency unit

which lay in the house

that Sam built.

These are the men all tattered and torn

who've been sent by the opposition 

all shaven and shorn

those who favour that currency unit

which lay in the house

that Sam built.

And these are policemen

all brutal and wild

that worry those men

all tattered and thorn

who've been sent by the opposition

all shaven and shorn,

those favouring  the currency unit

which lay in the house

that Sam built.

And this is the peace-making coalition

who controls the policemen

all brutal and wild

that worry the men

all tattered and thorn,

who've been sent by the opposition

all shaven and shorn,

those favouring the currency unit

which lay in the house

that Sam built.

And this is humanitarian bombing

punishing tyrannical colonels 

who would worry the peace-making coalition

controlling policemen

all brutal and wild,

that worry the men

all tattered and thorn,

who were sent by the opposition

all shaven and shorn,

those favouring the currency unit

which lay in the house  that Sam built.

And these are natural riches

to serve as payment

for humanitarian bombing

initiated by the peace-making coalition

controlling policemen

all brutal and wild,

who worry the men

all tattered and thorn,

who were sent by the opposition

all shaven and shorn,

those favouring the currency unit

which lay in the house

that Sam built.

And that’s a transnational corporation

which will be extracting the riches

which will serve a payment

for humanitarian bombing

initiated by the peace-making coalition

controlling policemen

all brutal and wild,

which worry the men

all tattered and thorn,

who were sent by the opposition

all shaven and shorn,

those who favour the currency unit

which lay in the house that Sam built.
