Cock a snoot
Loop the loop
Hock the hula-hoop
But now it yo-yo'd back again

Shiver me timbers
Just jumped ship
With a little faith
We could win the championship

Parachute, stash the loot
Platinum substitute, problem is it's soooo cute
Workless, cashless, hungry and in debt
Outta house, outta home, outta pocket

They persuade you that they made you
Then betrayed you and they blame you
They persuade you that they made you
Then betrayed you and they blame you

With the power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion

You bought the troll
You bought the gonk
You took it home
And put it on a pedestal
We needed a saviour
But from its behaviour
Why did it have to be
So extra-terrestrial?

Tax deductible, cash corruptible
Nevertheless, another pools winner penniless
Dog tooth check, cash and carry
Find the girl, settle down and marry

They persuade you that they made you
Then betrayed you and they blame you
They persuade you that they made you
Then proclaim you and they maim you

With the power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion

The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion

I sold the Eskimo snow
Built the skyline out of Play-Doh
Persuading you that
Monochrome is Day-Glo
