Lyrically speaking, sir Paul has provided literal volumes over his career, covering a prodigious range of topics. Here’s one observing forex:

🎼

The pound is sinking, the peso's falling

The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling

The mark is holding, the franc is fading

The drachma's very weak, but everyone's still trading

The market's bottom has fallen right out

And only the strong are survivors

…

The dollar's moving, the ruble's rising

The yen is keeping up, which hardly seems surprising

The market's bottom has fallen right out

And only the stout are survivors
