Black and viscous, bound to cure blue lethargy   Sugar plum petroleum for energy   Tightrope, balanced payments need a small reprieve   Oh, please believe we want to be in North Sea, in North Sea Oil      New found wealth sits on the shelf of yesterday   Hot air balloon, inflation soon will make you pay   Riggers rig and diggers dig their shallow grave   But we'll be saved and what we crave is North Sea, is North Sea Oil      Prices boom in Aberdeen and London Town   Ten more years to lay the fears, erase the frown   Before we are all nuclear the better way   Oh, let us pray, we want to stay   In North Sea, in North Sea, in North Sea Oil
