♪Debt of The Northern Rock♪

Bank of England played
And the people drew deposit
And the depositors lined all day,
All day
And the lender of last resort came
Like BOJ in an ancient day,
Helping the bank to fund
Ah

Ah hey ma ma ma
Debt of the northern rock


He sat in front of the press
And he took a statement out
And everyone else came down
To listen
He said “In summer of 2007
It felt like the world would freeze
With Sub-prime Loan
And the Bankrupt.”

Ah hey ma ma ma
Debt of the northern rock
Ah hey ma ma ma
Debt of the northern rock


The Dollar had turned to drop
Watch the market fall down the stock
As it spreaded falling down
To the Continent
And though he ever has saved good bank
You could see it written in his site
As the bottom fell out at once
Buy, buy

Ah hey ma ma ma
Debt of the northern rock
Ah hey ma ma ma
Debt of the northern rock
