Lyrics

So glad I checked my spam today 2.5 million is coming my way Couldn’t believe that I had been chosen Just on the brink of my accounts being frozen

And everything seems legitimate Now the possibilities are infinite I’ve waited so long for this day to come To finally be selected, to be the one

Though I didn’t buy a ticket Wasn’t in it to win it I don’t think it matters It’s the amount which truly staggers

So all I have to do is get in touch And the lady seems quite nice I’ll just give her my details Fill in the form Password? No problem, just what could go wrong

And now I’ll just sit and wait for the cash And dream of the ways that I can be flash The ladies will notice me for once and for all We’ll have a great time and go to the ball

So glad I checked my spam today 2.5 million is coming my way

Did you know that I can expedite your payment? Just forward me the 2thousand filing fee, and you'll have your money tomorrow. (I didn't know they did these scams in Amsterdam, too.)

You too? Funny how often it happens. Almost as often as that Nigerian astronaut getting stuck on the ISS, in fact. But nowhere near as frequently as my router going wrong, sadly. At least, that's what "Mike" from Openreach tells me when he rings me on his mobile from India.

Great fun and the subversion of "I wasn't in it to win it" is delicious...

There are some great couplets in here. The chosen/frozen and legitimate/infinite lines made me smile. The laid back style fits with the tongue in cheek lyrics well.
