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

Chorus, all one line of it:

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

Verses:

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

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

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

"Chorus":

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