Guinea

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

There is money all around— We cut it from the forests — We take it from the ground.

The Hasluck sneer is growing, The Fadden has a plan; The golden days are passing— So grab it while you can.

The Aussie gift is priceless— Eight million quid a year!

Three millions from the oil men— They’re spending it right here.

The Bomb may come tomorrow, The Asians any day— So hurry, hurry, hurry, And grab it while you may.
