Lyrics

Shoulders back, every head held high
For at last we're underway
Founders of the famous financial firm
Rothschild and Sons
Jaws will drop when the world finds out
What a step we took today
Copenhagen's favorite banking house
Rothschild and Sons
Yes, you skeptical souls who sold us short
We're superior agents of the court
Twinkling high in the fiscal sky
Is a newly risen star
There's another firm in the firmament
Rothschild and Sons
Who stands ready to satisfy
An expanding clientele?
Servants of a prince and a king so far
Rothschild and Sons
Who's at home in the gilded halls
Where the reigning bluebloods dwell?
Members of the firm whose initials are
Rothschild and Sons
We're superior agents (we're superior agents)
Of the court (We're superior agents of the court)
International finance (international finance, international finance)
Is our sport (is our sport)
Say hello to a bright new world
To our bleak one, say farewell
Look who's making loans to the Danish crown (Copenhagen's favorite)
Look who gave a shove and a wall came down (We're another Joshua)
Look who's making loans (who gave a shove)
Rothschild and Sons
