it’s a drowning pool, it’s a drowning pool 
 this game is [bad word] and phoney 
 don’t you ever [bad word]  don’t think you must 
 the cretin and his cronies 
 he can press the flesh and you’d never guess 
 that he likes to spend your money 
 but his biggest crime is wasting all your time 
 the very thing you should not hurry 

 [bad word]  
 it’s a drowning pool, it’s a drowning pool 
 it can pull you deep down under 
 it’s a drowning pool, it’s a drowning pool 
 don’t let it steal your thunder 

 he [bad word] a ghost when you need him most 
 all you get is the secretary 
 he’s playing golf today or on a holiday 
 wonder how he feeds that belly 
 he looked me in the eye, looked me in the eye 
 gave me all those lies and stories 
 he’s a one to watch, you’re a one to watch 
 maybe I should issue a warning 

 they’ll pull you out alive, pull you out alive 
 finally you’ll feel the pressure 
 i won’t kiss the air or a derriere 
 but I’ll kick your [bad word] with pleasure
