| A man of great ambition he pushed himself to .... | |
| A man upon a mission with great riches to achieve | |
| All his friends admired him, | |
| And every word they trusted and believed. | |
| And the odds seemed forever in his favour. | |
| He made a sound investment in his own abilities | |
| A healthy clientele and some committed employees | |
| Well regarded in the town, money to be made, and cash be found. | |
| And the odds seem forever in his favour. | |
| Chorus: | |
| Sooner or later the man is bound to fall! | |
| Won’t find ... | |
| Sooner or later empires are bound to fall! | |
| [might be "Sooner or later the market's bound to fall. One fine day Sir, sooner or later the empire's bound to fall"] | |
| The wind blows forever without waver | |
| .... | |
| But the odds were not endeavored | |
| Forever in your favour! | |
| He bought a grander house on a more expensive street | |
| Quite a price to pay for a place to rest his feet | |
| Felt the water rise before he knew it wasn’t all ... | |
| ... | |
| Still he thought he had the odds in his favour. | |
| He had to disappoint you, the banker did not yield | |
| The string of repossessions, his wife’s expensive heels | |
| But sitting down upon the kerb he felt a sudden feeling of relief | |
| And he knew the odds were far from in his favour. | |
| Chorus: | |
| Sooner or later the man is bound to fall! | |
| Won’t find ... | |
| [might be "Sooner or later the market's bound to fall. One fine day Sir] | |
| Sooner or later it’s the end of the road! | |
| Does the wind blow forever without waver? | |
| .... | |
| But the odds were not endeavored | |
| Forever in your favour! | |
| You’re expensive pockets are empty and you’re feeling insecure | |
| I think you may resent it, in fact, I’m pretty sure | |
| Is being wealthy really all that far from being poor | |
| I’m not so sure! | |
| And the odds are not forever in your favour! |
