There is a silly little song that you can listen to by the following the link and the initial lyrics go like this:
To market to market went my brother JimBut somebody threw a tomato at himTomatoes are soft and they don’t bruise the skinBut this one killed Jim, it was wrapped in a tin
I kept the melody but altered the lyrics and renamed it the THE TOWER OF BASEL. It currently has four veres and goes like this:
THE TOWER OF BASEL
In Basel in Swissland there is a big bank
Born in the thirties it really is swank
No country owns it and what goes on there
Is none of your business if even you care
It sits on the border with Deutschland and France
And with the world’s finance it leads a fine dance
A waltz that doesn't worry who it makes poor
As banksters with banksters twirl on its floor
In World War Two there was Hitler next door
But banksters weren’t worried despite all the gore
The Fűhrer was thankful they’d helped him gain sway
And the banksters they knew that they’d win either way
They call it the BIS and on you it does piss
Because you’re a peasant who no one will miss
The high and the mighty they knock at its door
The Tower of Basel is greedy for more
I may add more verses later. I've played it on guitar and it sounds good. The chords are very simple: C to F to C for the first three lines and then C to G to C for the last line of each verse.
