"Get 'em out by Friday!
You don't gewt 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."

"I r[Am]epresent a firm of gentlem[Dm]en who recently purchased this
h[Am]ouse and all the [G]others in the r[Dm]oad,
In the [Am]interest of humanity we've f[Dm]ound a better place for you to [Am]go-g[G]o-g[Dm]o."
MRS. BARROW (A TENANT)

"Oh no, this I can't believe,
Oh Mary, they're asking us to leave."
MR. PEBBLE
(hardly detectable guitar on last bit)
"Get 'em out by Friday!
I've told you before, 's good many gone if we let them stay.
And if it isn't easy,
You can squeeze a little grease and our troubles will soon runaway."

"[A]After all this time, they ask us to l[E]eave,
And I t[A]old them we could pay double the r[E]ent.

[D]I don't know why it seemed so f[C]unny,
[Bm]Seeing as how they'd take more m[A]oney.

[A]The winkler called again, he came here this m[E]orning,
with four h[A]undred pounds and a photograph of the place he has fo[E]und.

[D]A block of flats with central he[C]ating.
[Bm]I think we're going to find it h[Am]ard."
MR. PEBBLE
(no guitar, except for last bit)
"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."

"H[Am]ere we are in Harlow New Town, did you r[Dm]ecognise your block
across the sq[Am]uare,[G] over th[Dm]ere,
[Am]Sadly since last time we spoke, we've fo[Dm]und we've had to raise the
rent ag[Am]ain,[G] just a b[Dm]it."
MRS. BARROW

Oh Mary, and we agreed to leave."

"I h[Dm]ear the dir[Am]ectors of Gen[Bb]etic Contr[F]ol have been b[G]uying all the
pr[Gm]operties that have r[A]ecently been s[Gm]old, taking r[C]isks oh so b[A]old.
It's s[Dm]aid now that p[Am]eople will be sh[Bb]orter in h[F]eight, they can f[G]it
twice as m[Gm]any in the s[A]ame building s[Gm]ite.
(they s[C]ay it's alr[A]ight),
Beg[Dm]inning with the t[Am]enants of the t[Bb]own of Harl[F]ow,
in the int[G]erest of hum[Gm]anity, they've been t[A]old they must [Gm]go-g[C]o-g[A]o-go."

SIR JOHN DE PEBBLE OF UNITED BLACKSPRINGS INTERNATIONAL

"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."
