Nice to know you, I am Mr V. Greedy
You may call me Very
Very Greedy that's me
I came to England age seventeen caused I'm greedy
got a clerical job to fund my studies cause I'm greedy
for two years before Uni I at 18 was a rat in the race cause I'm greedy
Went to Uni but from but Saturday and Sundays 7 am to 7 pm
I was an Attendant in a Store working for my keep cause I'm greedy
Summer Hols and its a full-time job, 3 months hard slog
No lolling on a beach, already got a tan, no travelling except to work
No lazy days meeting with friends, no evenings down at the pub
got to earn to pay rent and food and turn out presentable
and save towards my fees, not home Student, got to pay
all these to do cause I'm greedy, cause I am Mr V. Greedy

For all years I strive and slogged, earned my keep and paid my Taxes
Never took anything from the State cause I am Mr V. Greedy
let Uni, straight into a job, twelve hours shift everyday
But no worries, this is what we all do, but of course I am Mr V Greedy
had a Car, had a wife who worked hard, had a lovely dog, had a life
But I am Mr Very Greedy and if you're greedy, thieves will visit  

So the white thieves burgled and stole our stuff
and when I protested they informed me quite nicely
that as I was Greedy, this is what happens to greedy people
and they have mates who will sort us out for being greedy
Now unemployed, I am still greedy though I have lost arms and legs, my pristine reputation, my wife and my dog.
I am a pariah cause the thieves said I am Mr V. Greedy

So hallelujah to all the Class Warriors and all their supporters
Congratulations to all the hard workers who managed to hold on
to their without visits from those nice hard working thieves
Well done to those lovely Social Engineers who turn successes
into failures, unemployed, unloved and still Mr V Greedy
A big hand to all our Racists brothers
who killed ambition, hope and Progress and put black man where
they are destined to be,
Unemployed, on their knees, a drain on the society with a bad name
My name is Mr Very Greedy, I am glad to know you.......
