Just in case you lost your hymn book, here's the hymn that we will be singing.
A mighty fortress is our bank
a lender never failing
for all our riches we must thank,
the endless worldbank bailing
we plant our export crop
and watch the prices drop
but suffering we endure
in order to remain pure
Our future is in retailing
Our nations' borders pose no threat
to foreign acquisition
We will always be in debt
it is the world bank's mission
our forests were gone last May
our soil is washed away
but help is on the way
for we have received today
a loan for irrigation.
