Sorry, where was I? Ah, yes They say of the fable that businessmen croon That dog may eat dog but he pays the raccoon Filling up the coffers Billing up the otters Watching them squirm Yes, lions and tigers and bears owe my firm I've made mountains from founding These half-finished villages Run down little towns That I fill up with idiots Declare one the mayor Flair their ego a little bit Charge them with fixing it Then charge for the privilege You buy land at a high deposit When I drop profitable hovels on it Each island is like a wallet 'Cause I got the whole place in my pocket You crank the land value With every little bit of spit and polish If I get a better tenant than you Well, thank you! Everything's demolished It's about time I took some more Payments from your good selves I'm just balancing the books But I'm still waiting on the bookshelves You promised you'd build me Once you'd patched the fence Don't like it? Then bill me I'll just add it to the rent Never seen a game so twee But there's administration fees For this little haven we Chiselled from complacency And we pay it gratefully Slaving every day for the Price tag attached to the back Of our new horizon Raccoon in a tie that racked up a tycoon Can't handle my mess? You'd best stick with splatoon You'll be knee deep in seashells Before we hit noon And that's hardly a dent In the debt you've accrued You may wonder why we keep moving around The houses you buy Aren't that structurally sound A few years will lapse They collapse to the ground And these suckers cough up For another new town! You call me amoral? Is that what you think? Well, at least I've not driven My assistant to drink Poor, dear little isabelle is caught in a living hell It's fishing and yard work Not building a citadel Overworked, underpaid That poor little shih tzu Managing a bunch of animals I guess it really is a- I guess you see the pun there Some mayor you turned out to be If I do say so How fitting, in a town full of critters That the only human is the scapegoat Never seen a game so twee But there's administration fees For this little haven we Chiselled from complacency And we pay it gratefully Slaving every day for the Price tag attached to the back Of our new horizon Extortion has seldom been so inoffensive No matter the tax and whatever the rent is They flock and they herd Just to pay their expenses With no picket lines 'Cept a few garden fences Read between the lines And you might find the margins So, eat up the jargon Don't argue the bargains Or I'll add a no pets clause It wouldn't be hard And I'll have every resident live in the garden Never seen a game so twee But there's administration fees For this little haven we Chiselled from complacency And you pay it gratefully (and we pay it gratefully) Slaving every day for the (slaving every day for the) Price tag I've slapped on the back (price tag attached to the back) Of your new horizon (of our new horizon) Right, rent's due And I think you owe me some nuts Or fruit or fish or something
