We’ve got lots of money and we don’t know what to do with it
We’d like to invest it, but what in
We could start a company, but that takes too much time
And we don’t have ideas to begin

But there’s another way, we can buy some ready-made
The ones owned by the people would be good to cherry pick
But we need a clever ruse to persuade them to sell
Some simple-minded kind of con-trick, con-trick

We’ll spin them a yarn and say it needs investment
It has to be sold for their sakes
We’ll bung in a few quid and take over the business
And cream off all the profit that it makes, that it makes

Creaming off the top, creaming off the top
Milking every drop, making such a lot
We don’t care if the service goes to pot
Cos we’re creaming off the top

Get essential services, we’re always on a winner
The clue has to be in the name (in the name)
Take what others own, does that make you a sinner?
Cos that is the name of our game, of our game

The prices will go up, and the service will go down
And some will struggle to pay (yes, they will)
But we don’t really care, if some are up against it
As long as we’re having our way, wicked way

Having it away, yes, we’re having it away
It’s the game we like to play
Having it away, yes, we’ll have our wicked way
We’ll make the peasants pay

Creaming off the top, yes, we’re creaming off the top
Milking every drop, making such a lot
Big fat wads come into our pot
As we’re creaming off the top

We’re pumping their poo into their rivers and the ocean
Just to show them what we really think, really think
A sign of our contempt, they might make a commotion
But, so what, if it kicks up a stink, yes it stinks

But we don’t really mind if they’re swimming in the poo
More profit is better for us
We’re so greedy and we’re creaming off the top
So, who cares if the peasants make a fuss

Creaming off the top, creaming off the top
Milking every drop, creaming off the top
And we don’t care if more peasants get the chop
As we’re creaming off the top

We know we’re in control, and we’re having it away
We can buy anything that we fancy
Having it away it’s wonderful payday
As we stick it up their nancy, yeh

Stick it up their nancy, yeh, stick up their nancy
A little bit of what you fancy, does you good
Stick it up their nancy, yeh, stick up their nancy
Don’t mind if they get antsy, knew they would

We’re so greedy, but we don’t bloody care
Cos we’re so Rish, that it stinks
We’re all having fun, even though it isn’t fair
And we’re off to our members’ club for drinks, let’s have a drink, cheers

Creaming off the top, yes, we’re creaming off the top
Milking every drop, creaming off the top
We don’t care now we own the bloody lot
As we’re creaming off the top
