FF
Atom secrets, secret leaflet
FF
Have the boys found the leak yet?
FF
The molehill sets the wheel in motion
FF
His downfall picks up locomotion

Chorus, all one line of it:

  C majorC                  Bb majorBb
The people must have something good to read on a Sunday

Verses:

FF
The leader's wife takes a government car
FF
In the dark to meet her minister
FF
But the leader never leaves his door ajar
FF
As he swings his whip from the Boer War

FF
He wore a leather mask for his dinner guests
FF
Totally nude and with deep respect
FF
Proposed a toast to the votes he gets
FF
The feeling of power and the thought of sex!

FF
Now the girl let the fat man touch her
FF
Vodka fumes and the feel of a vulture
FF
The driver waited in the embassy car
FF
The fat man's trap was set for capture
FF
So the girl let the thin man touch her
FF
Mixing questions, drunken laughter
FF
The ministry car was waiting there
FF
A augmentedA minister knows his own affair

"Chorus":

  C majorC                  Bb majorBb
The people must have something good to read on a Sunday
