Get 'Em Out by Friday lyrics

[John Pebble of Styx Enterprises]

‘Get 'em out by Friday!

You don't get 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.’

[Mark Hall of Styx Enterprises (otherwise known as ‘The Winkler’)]

‘I represent a firm of gentlemen who recently purchased this house and all the others in the road

In the interest of humanity we've found a better place for you to go-go-go.’

[Mrs. Barrow (a tenant)]

‘Oh no, this I can't believe

Oh Mary, they're asking us to leave.’

[Mr. Pebble]

‘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 run away.’

[Mrs. Barrow]

‘After all this time, they ask us to leave

And I told them we could pay double the rent

I don't know why it seemed so funny

Seeing as how they'd take more money

The winkler called again, he came here this morning

With four hundred pounds and a photograph of the place he has found

A block of flats with central heating

I think we're going to find it hard.’

[Mr. Pebble]

‘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-sell.’

[Mr. Hall]

‘Here we are in Harlow New Town, did you recognise your block

Across the square, over there

Sadly since last time we spoke, we've found we've had to raise the rent again

Just a bit.’

[Mrs. Barrow]

‘Oh no, this I can't believe

Oh Mary, and we agreed to leave.’

[A passage of time]

[9 September 2012 T.V. Flash on all Dial-A-Program Services]

This is an announcement from Genetic Control:

‘It is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on

Humanoid height.’

[Extract from coversation of Joe Ordinary in Local Puborama]

‘I hear the directors of Genetic Control have been buying all the

Properties that have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold

It's said now that people will be shorter in height

They can fit twice as many in the same building site

(they say it's alright)

Beginning with the tenants of the town of Harlow

In the interest of humanity, they've been told they must go

Told they must go-go-go-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.’

[Memo from Satin Peter of Rock Development Ltd.]

‘With land in your hand, you'll be happy on earth

Then invest in the Church for your heaven.’
