I received yet another email scam today
But in this message I'd won no money
They said they belonged to the Red Cross
But I could see at once it was a phoney

They wanted a minimum donation
£250 was the smallest fee
They said to pay it through Western Union
But the Red Cross don't work with them, you see

There was still the usual spelling mistakes
And they're grammar left left a lot to be desired
So I checked it out with the Red Cross
Now my blood, it was really fired

Who are these scum that share our world?
Did they evolve on a different gene?
Cause' to steal from a bank is one thing
But this is the worst crime i've ever seen

We've all done things we're not proud off
But this case sheds a whole new light
Why they're stealing from the dead and the dying
This is worse than a thief in the night

Now we all may be judged in the next phase
But I hope they're at the front of the queue
Cause' they'll know through they're trembling fingers
This time they've bit off more than they can chew
