lirik lagu leslie fish – dane-geld
[intro]
it is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
to call upon a neighbor and to say:
“we invaded you last night—we are quite prepared to fight
unless you pay us cash to go away.”
[chorus]
and that is called asking for dane~geld
and the people who ask it explain
that you’ve only to pay ’em the dane~geld
and then you’ll get rid of the dane!
[verse 1]
it is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation
to puff and look important and to say:
“though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you
we will therefore pay you cash to go away.”
[chorus]
and that is called paying the dane~geld;
but we’ve proved it again and again
that if once you have paid him the dane~geld
you never get rid of the dane
[verse 2]
it is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation
for fear they should succumb and go astray;
so when you are requested to pay up or be molested
you will find it better policy to say:
[outro/chorus]
“we never pay anyone dane~geld
no matter how trifling the cost;
for the end of that game is oppression and shame
and the nation that pays it is lost!”
