The people stood there muttering and mumbling, The people want their treatment to be just: "We queued till we were first and they’ve just come in - But now they’re sitting eating before us." They told them so things wouldn’t get more heated: "We’ll have to ask you now to make a move, please. Those people all are foreigners we seated And, would you mind us asking, who might you be?" The people still stood spluttering and grumbling; It seems they want their treatment to be just: "We queued till we were first and they’ve just come in - But now they’re sitting eating before us." The manager then patiently repeated: "I’ll have to ask you now to make a move, please. Those people all are delegates we seated And, would you mind me asking, who might you be?" The people stood there thundering and rumbling, The people want their treatment to be just: "We queued till we were first and they’ve just come in - But now they’re sitting eating before us."
