The Oom has Gone out of the Boom

Lyrics

The Oom has Gone Out of the Boom, Club Members: The oom has gone out of the boom, Brian said Share prices have crashed, rich Directors have fled My fortune?s gone west as the grim word is spread By Brian on TV?s nightly news. Yes the oom has gone out of the boom Brian told me of impending doom I?m busted for sure, much poorer than poor My glitter is littered with gloom Crackers: I would have been rich if I?d sold half my shares But now I?m stone broke, bank debt up to my ears So where?s Chucka got to? He was standing there? Bank Manager: I want you to pay back my loan?. Members: Yes the oom has gone out of the boom Brian told me of impending doom I?m busted for sure, much poorer than poor My glitter is littered with gloom Bank Manager: We must sell your house to repay your bank loan Crackers: Hang on mate, you can?t sell my house, it?s my home! Please give me a break Sir, a month to atone Bank Manager: A month? No, you?ll move out next week! Members: Yes the oom has gone out of the boom Brian told me of impending doom I?m busted for sure, much poorer than poor My glitter is littered with gloom Yes the oom has gone out of the boom Brian told me of impending doom I?m busted for sure, much poorer than poor My glitter is littered with gloom.
