[NARRATOR]
Inamidst the terror
He forced an unforced error
The ball, it spun
In fervour and won
A first-class flight to Canberra
But never he wasn't in Canberra
And never 'e seen a rambler
It had begun
That government dun
The door-rap an incessant timbre
[CH. INVESTIGATOR]
You're not quite off the hook yet
You're very much still on it
We've checked your house, your clothes, your teeth
Only time till the rental car bonnet
[TENNIS]
"It's a sure thing, a certain vacation"
Spake the snaketongued claimedly-Haitian
Such an agreeable proclamation
Disguising floccinaucinihilipilification
"Sobeit," said the liar
"And you'll be set-"
I swear by it, sir
He had me by the debt!

[CH. INSPECTOR]
If you did it for the money
Where's the money, then?
[TENNIS]
I spent it, sir, on hookers and drugs
I spent it on girls and plugs
I spent it on dullards and frugs
I spent it on martyrs and slugs
I spent it, I spent it all
Untraceable? Who knows
[The CH. INSPECTOR's INTERNAL MONOLOGUE]
Says he is a natural
Says he's a pro
Lost to Ibrahimović
And couldn't let go
He's a coward
He's a fool
He'd rather do this and
Lie to us all
[CH. INVESTIGATOR]
Inamidst the fright
You whacked the ball far-right
The crowd were stunned
It stood love-one
And never did you take flight
And never were you in Canberra
That's why you ne'er seen a rambler
You yourself shunned
Youself getting sun
So you find yourself a gambler
You preproperated!
And you pernoctated!
(And you made it all up!
You idiot)
[Outro]
(Floccinaucinihilipilification, floccinaucinihilipilification)
(Floccinaucinihilipilification, floccinaucinihilipilification)
(Floccinaucinihilipilification, floccinaucinihilipilification)
(Floccinaucinihilipilification, floccinaucinihilipilification...)
(Oh for fuck's-)
