Hey! Poppies! Forget the show and tell.
You sell well –
What the hell –
So, Poppies, you think you'd do your thing for me?

Hey! Poppies! I admire your pods
Of which I'm awed.
They're outlawed?
So, Poppies, could you still do your thing for me?

As your country's occupier
I find the stakes are growing higher.
With Jacques Chirac an eager buyer
Now I could be his sole supplier.

Poppies! Forget that spraying thing
In the Spring.
I'm the King,
So, Poppies, we'll let you do your thing for me.

Hey! Poppies! You'll be my new cash drawer
And pay for
Each new war
So, Poppies, you better do your thing for me.

I've a fine administration
Facing public indignation
And no income from taxation.
We'll be needing your salvation.

So, Poppies! I fear it's up to you,
What I do.
Who I, uh,
Who owes who.
Poppies! Let's see what you can do for me.
