Guernsey Monopoly

Guernsey Monopoly 

I joined in with a game of Guernsey Monopoly

Around the table deputies surrounded poor me

They dealt out all the money, two for them, one for me

I knew I'd never win or get let out of jail free

But I thought I'd try my best and see just how I might do

I even thought I'd see if I could help the locals out too

Well... 

I chose to use the top hat thinking I'd look pretty swank

Another used the Rolls Royce, sat in front of the bank

He covered stolen hotels just in case I might see

And when I landed on them, he did jump like a flea

He took all my money, left me pretty much broke

He was drooling with excitement through his cigarette smoke

I pulled out hidden money and I paid all my fines

The rent was pretty high but that's the sign of the times

I gave the dice a lucky shake but I rolled out a one

This game was getting tedious... it wasn't much fun

The banker stacked his profit, kept one eye on the board

Knowing Mill Street was the only place that I could afford

He handed me the deeds and with a smile on his face

He said he'd knock down Mill Street put some flats in its place

Maybe add more offices... and a higher class café

All to be paid for, from the average workers pay

A deputy bought Fermain just to have a good life

As his girlfriend lived down Cobo far away from his wife

One of them grabbed Fort George just to show off his wealth

This game was getting real, it wasn't good for my health

The price to see the doctor, man... It cost me a house

Seemed everyone was after me, like cats verses mouse

There seemed to be more roads closed and they happened to be mine

They passed me with diversions ... Time after time

I threw myself a six at last and I passed Fort George by

A move without no profit, man... I thought he might cry

But when I came up trumps... and I bought myself Vale 

Well they all got pretty mad and threw my arse into jail

Knowing that a jail card I never did own

I decided that I'd stay here... End the game with a home
