Black and viscous --- bound to cure blue lethargy
  Sugar-plum petroleum for energy
  Tightrope-balanced payments need a small reprieve
  Oh, please believe we want to be
  in North Sea Oil
  New-found wealth sits on the shelf of yesterday
  Hot-air balloon --- inflation soon will make you pay
  Riggers rig and diggers dig their shallow grave
  But we'll be saved and what we crave
  is North Sea Oil
  Prices boom in Aberdeen and London Town
  Ten more years to lay the fears, erase the frown
  before we are all nuclear --- the better way!
  Oh, let us pray: we want to stay
  in North Sea Oil
