“Get ‘Em Out By Friday”

Get 'em out by Friday
You don't get paid 'til 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 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-woh, go-woh 
Oh no, this I can't believe 
Oh Mary, they're asking us to leave 

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 

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 

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 

Here we are in Harlow New Town 
 Did you recognize 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 

Oh no, this I can't believe 
 Oh Mary, and we agreed to leave 

This is an announcement from Genetic Control 
It is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on Humanoid height 

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 

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 
With land in your hand, you'll be happy on earth 
 Then invest in the Church for your heaven
