Pay your rates
Pay your water rates
Pay your rates
Pay your water rates

If your rates too high
Write a snotty letter
If your rates too high
Put your life on this bit of paper

Advice on rates
Advice on rates

Pay your rates
Pay your water rates
Pay your rates
Pay your water rates

If your rates too high
You’d better sign this letter
If you don’t pay your rates
You’re gonna end up here

Or end up on debtors’ retreat estate
Or debtors’ retreat escape
Debtors’ escape estate

Debtors’ escape
Debtors’ retreat escape
Debtors’ retreat estate
Neuroticred landscape
A socialist state invention
The old government bones working

[legendary chaos tape:
Let’s hear it for the working class traitors
Hello warren mitchell]

Debtors’ escape estate
Debtors’ retreat estate
A no-motivation estate
Debtors’ escape estate

Pay the borough
Pay the borough
Pay your rates
Pay pretty sharp
Pay the borough
Pay the borough
Pay the borough

Pay your rates
Pay your water rates
Pay your rates
Pay your rates
