The goods of here, the goods of there,
Flow from here to there, and there to here.
We all know, we all know,
We all know where, oh where, the swindle goes.
The goods of here, the goods of there,
Flow from here to there, and there to here.
The goods of here, the goods of there,
Flow from here to there, and there to here.

How much is lawful trade, how much is theft?
How much is lawful trade, how much is theft?
The ocean swells, a golden palanquin's path,
As some, with goods in hand,
Create more goods, in secret ways.
We all know, we all know,
We all know, we all know,
We all know, we all know,
We all know where, oh where, the swindle goes.
The goods of here, the goods of there,
Flow from here to there, and there to here.
The goods of here, the goods of there,
Flow from here to there, and there to here.

When thieves and constables conspire,
How can the thievery ever cease?
The workers' eyes meet, then bow low,
From customs house to leaders' homes,
Who's linked to whom, a hidden maze.
We all know, we all know,
We all know, we all know,
We all know, we all know,
We all know where, oh where, the swindle goes.
The goods of here, the goods of there,
Flow from here to there, and there to here.
