(Intro: Spoken - Mocking) Call the Coast Guard! Send a flare! The Minister in trouble! What happened? A Tsunami? Nah... he washing his face. Watch him! (Verse 1) The man get a big promotion, he feeling grand He say he going to lead the agency across the land. He walk with a strut, he pose and he preen The most confident fella that you ever seen. He tell us he ready to swim against the tide He say the ocean of politics is distinct and wide. But as soon as the rain start to drizzle a bit The man start to panic and he throwing a fit! (Chorus) The man out of his depth... even in a basin! Look at the crisis that he facing. He drowning in water that only deep by an inch Screaming for help in a little pinch! He want to swim the Channel, he want to cross the sea But he need a life-jacket just to drink tea! It tragic, it funny, it represents a sin To be out of your depth... inside a basin! (Verse 2) He try to manage the budget, the numbers was small But he couldn't make sense of the figures at all. He try to fix a pothole, a simple little thing But he tangle up the shovel inside of a string. I tell him: "Chief, put on your water wings fast!" "This puddle of water might be your last!" He standing on the dry land, shaking with fear Thinking a shark going to suddenly appear! (Bridge) [Trombone Solo - Comical "Wah Wah" sound] (Spoken - Heckling) Throw him a rope! Nah, throw him a soap! He washing up? No, he washing out! He snorkeling in a saucer! Look at vibes! (Verse 3) We have plenty leaders who talk a good game But when the pressure drop, is always the same. They promise to captain the ship through the storm But they can't even navigate a university dorm. So next time you see him inside Parliament Trying to explain where the money went. Just remember the image, just picture the scene The man fighting for life... in a soup tureen! (Chorus) The man out of his depth... even in a basin! Look at the crisis that he facing. He drowning in water that only deep by an inch Screaming for help in a little pinch! He want to swim the Channel, he want to cross the sea But he need a life-jacket just to drink tea! It tragic, it funny, it represents a sin To be out of your depth... inside a basin! (Outro) Glub, glub, glub. Help! Somebody pull the plug! He going down! In the sink! Kaiso! [Big Brass Finish]
