The wheels on the bus\\
Go round and round\\
Taking us\\
Across the town\\
Across the town\\
And the talk of the town\\
I understand\\
Was all about,\\
All about the man\\
All about the man\\
The man who bought the world\\
\\
He bought the papers\\
He bought the news\\
He bought the newspapers\\
The poor man’s Howard Hughes\\
The poor man’s Howard Hughes\\
\\
He bought the churches\\
To pray for you\\
The doctors the nurses\\
The teachers and the schools\\
The desks and all the blackboards\\
He bought the boys and girls\\
And they learned nothing from\\
The man who bought the world\\
\\
The sale of The Twentieth Century\\
The Free Market Economy\\
And you and me\\
Laughing all the way to bankruptcy\\
With the director of the company\\
The man who bought the world\\
The man who bought the world\\
\\
He bought the ozone he’s got the hole\\
He bought the sunshine\\
What he didn’t buy he stole\\
He’s got the whole world\\
The whole world in his hands\\
\\
The man who bought the world\\
