The Berlin Conference - The Burning Hell
Why have I called you here
I guess I've got a thing for meetings
But please
Take a chair
Let's get past the formal greetings
It's so cold outside
Let's ponder wandering the tropics
And get to work
Tabling the topics
That we're here to discuss
Disgust runs through my northern veins
When I consider what we're wasting
Think of the southern gains
We could all be tasting
Speaking of taste  waiter
Another gin and tonic
Don't look at me that way
Teutonic thirst is chronic
And this is thirsty work
Let's not be gentle  gentleman
This project's continental
Don't worry about that spill  my friend
Tablecloths are rentals
Pass me the map and the brandy
I've got a pen already
Where's the ruler
Where's the compass
Ready  hold it steady
Now  will you look at that
Some call us rivals
They say we've got interests not friends
Well you say tomato
And I say dividends
Divided we stand
But united we'll do business
Is this civilized or what
Can I get a witness
Let's sign this and light a cigar
Oh  far be it for me to presume or decide
I just called the meeting I'm not taking sides
Side of beef
Cider
More port or maybe champagne
From the cellar
Oh waiter we'll need you again
It's best to be under the influence  oh
When deciding our spheres of influence  no
Scrambling's for eggs not for colonization
Sit settle down just relax and be patient
Here is a piece of the pie for you
And here is a piece of the pie for you too
And for you  no pie
After all you came late
Do you ask for a kiss on the very first date
So lodge a complaint
It's a hodgepodge a paint
By numbers call it whatever you want
But let's focus on finding a final agreement
OK  I'm too drunk to think any more and I say
50 is the magic number
Wormless are the birds who slumber
In three months we'll do it
Let's begin
