Welcome to the Faceless Gnomes of Zurich,
They really are a most peculiar bunch.
They bankroll most of Europe
And refinance at a gallop,
And they’re often found regurgitating lunch.
Welcome to the Faceless Gnomes of Zurich,
They’re tiny, and they’re bearded, and they’re Swiss.
Counting pennies in their dungeons
Making sure the Euro functions,
But disturb their dinner parties and they’ll hiss.
Welcome to the Faceless Gnomes of Zurich,
They’re scary but please don’t be alarmed.
Calculating interest rates
Checking stock exchange updates,
Bring them biscuits for their tea and they’ll be charmed.
Welcome to the Faceless Gnomes of Zurich,
What more do you really need to know?
Making sure there’s always cash
In their oh so secret stash,
But they’ll never have their breakfast on the go.

Quaint, parochial insanity. Definitely left of left field. I'm guessing that you have a boring desk job.... and love Edward Lear.
