Rain rain in my eye
The people’s tears cry
No hope in sight
To lighten their plight
The dollar and the euro
Are playing life like Ludo
We are all together
You must enjoy the weather!
While it lasts forever
The climate is clever
It burns and bakes
To cover all our aches
Some people are in pain
Some are on a higher plain
It is all the same you see
No difference to you and me
Some are born free
Some are not you see
We get the news
Of arriving queues
Mr Unterguggenberger
Proposed a new wager
Why not balance out
The euro dollar fallout
He gave us the Worgl
It made the people chortle
But the banks did burble
Afraid the system would curdle
A new library full of books
Not a street full of crooks
A new school to energise
And make us future wise
The children laughed
The banks coughed
The serious ones frowned
And Mr Unterguggenberger drowned
Mick Unterguggenberger
A descendent of the famous burgher
Has read his antecedents story
He wants to recreate the glory
The workers orchestra
For society Saint Cecilia
Played the memory song
People hummed all day long
Mr Unterguggenberger
Where-ever you linger
Please come to town
To stop the people’s frown
