Accountancy Shanty Songtext
von Monty Python

Full speed ahead, Mr. Cohen!

Up, up, up your premium, up, up, up your premium
Scribble away! (Up, up, up your premium)
And balance the books (Up, up, up your premium)
Scribble away! (Up, up, up your premium)
But balance the books (Up, up, up)


It′s fun to charter an accountant
And sail the wide accountancy
To find, explore the funds offshore
And skirt the shoals of bankruptcy

It can be manly in insurance
We'll up your premium semi-annually
It′s all tax deductible, we're fairly incorruptible
We're sailing on the wide accountancy


Oh, this is fun, Mr. Cohen! (Sail away)
(Up, up, up) Fetch me another exotic salute
To port! Bring her port to shell out!
And the medium guys shell out to port!
Balance the books!
Bring me another small shellfish, Mr. Cohen
