The Man Who Bought the World
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Taking us across the town, across the town
And the talk of the town, I understand was all about
All about the man all about the man, the man who bought the world
He bought the papers, he bought the news
He bought the newspapers
The poor man's Howard Hughes
The poor man's Howard Hughes
He bought the churches to pray for you
The doctors, the nurse, the teachers and the schools
The desks and all the blackboards, he bought the boys and girls
And they learned nothing from the man who bought the world
The sale of The Twentieth Century, the Free Market Economy
And you and me laughing all the way to bankruptcy
With the director of the company, the man who bought the world
The man who bought the world
He bought the ozone, he's got the hole
He bought the sunshine, what he didn't buy he stole
He's got the whole world, the whole world in his hands
The man who bought the world
Taking us across the town, across the town
And the talk of the town, I understand was all about
All about the man all about the man, the man who bought the world
He bought the papers, he bought the news
He bought the newspapers
The poor man's Howard Hughes
The poor man's Howard Hughes
He bought the churches to pray for you
The doctors, the nurse, the teachers and the schools
The desks and all the blackboards, he bought the boys and girls
And they learned nothing from the man who bought the world
The sale of The Twentieth Century, the Free Market Economy
And you and me laughing all the way to bankruptcy
With the director of the company, the man who bought the world
The man who bought the world
He bought the ozone, he's got the hole
He bought the sunshine, what he didn't buy he stole
He's got the whole world, the whole world in his hands
The man who bought the world
