The Lyrics
Going out a-whoring, going for their “tithing,”
going for the boon time. . .printed paper sheaves.
Awaiting a harvest; it’s the time for reaping;
with grease their palms moistened. . .stinking grifting thieves.
Stinking grifting thieves, slinking grifting thieves;
with grease their palms moistened. . .stinking grifting thieves.
Stinking grifting thieves, finking grifting thieves
are beyond annoying, stinking grifting thieves.
Blather in the sunshine, gather in the shadows.
Blackguard atmosphere found under the House eaves.
Buy and buy, their masters, patrons they’ve befriended.
False bromides annoying. . .stinking grifting thieves.
Stinking grifting thieves, winking grifting thieves;
with grease their palms moistened. . .stinking grifting thieves.
Stinking grifting thieves, wrinkled grifting thieves.
On their petards hosting, stinking grifting thieves,
Going forth for stealing, going forth for Mammon.
Pelf the prize pursued while prating petty peeves.
Though the public hates them, fat cats bid them welcome.
Schmaltz bromides are cloying. . .stinking grifting thieves.
Stinking grifting thieves, slinking grifting thieves;
with grease their palms moistened. . .stinking grifting thieves.
Stinking grifting thieves, drinking grifting thieves’
readied lips are moistened. . .jising to receive.
going for the boon time. . .printed paper sheaves.
Awaiting a harvest; it’s the time for reaping;
with grease their palms moistened. . .stinking grifting thieves.
Stinking grifting thieves, slinking grifting thieves;
with grease their palms moistened. . .stinking grifting thieves.
Stinking grifting thieves, finking grifting thieves
are beyond annoying, stinking grifting thieves.
Blather in the sunshine, gather in the shadows.
Blackguard atmosphere found under the House eaves.
Buy and buy, their masters, patrons they’ve befriended.
False bromides annoying. . .stinking grifting thieves.
Stinking grifting thieves, winking grifting thieves;
with grease their palms moistened. . .stinking grifting thieves.
Stinking grifting thieves, wrinkled grifting thieves.
On their petards hosting, stinking grifting thieves,
Going forth for stealing, going forth for Mammon.
Pelf the prize pursued while prating petty peeves.
Though the public hates them, fat cats bid them welcome.
Schmaltz bromides are cloying. . .stinking grifting thieves.
Stinking grifting thieves, slinking grifting thieves;
with grease their palms moistened. . .stinking grifting thieves.
Stinking grifting thieves, drinking grifting thieves’
readied lips are moistened. . .jising to receive.

I can think of a large building in Washington DC where this ought to be played.
