Demolition The Kinks

(Sung by Flash and his Cronies in their Den)

I spy with my little eye
Anything here that I can buy
I see a little thatched cottage
Looking so neat
With compulsory purchase we can buy it up cheap
Then we'll pull up the floor boards
Tear down the walls
Rock the foundations
Until the house falls
Like a pack of cards
Crashing to the ground
Then we'll build a row
Of identical boxes
And sell them all off at treble the profits
Demolition

The deeds are in my pocket
I've got a contract in my hand
An opportunity for luxury living
I'll arrange the mortgage
To be repaid a hundred percent
I can't wait around so make your decision
We'll buy up all the cottages
And every house and every street
Until we've got everything we need
Every town in the vicinity
Every farm and village green
We're gonna buy up everything
Then it's Demolition
Demolition. Demolition
