| There's a Cyprus citrus surplus, |
| Citrus surplus Cypriotic. |
| No Sicilian citrus surplus |
| But a Cyprus citrus surplus, |
| Not a Cyprus citron surplus |
| But a Cyprus citrus surplus, |
| Not a Cyprus citrus circus, |
| But a Cyprus citrus surplus. |
| It's a special citrus surplus, |
| Cyprus citrus super surplus. |
| "Just a surface citrus surfeit," |
| Says a cryptic Coptic skeptic. |
| But the bishop in his surplice |
| Certifies the surfeit citrus -- |
| In his surplus Sunday surplice, |
| Certifies the citrus surfeit. |
| Who'll assimilate the surplus, |
| Siphon off the Cyprus citrus? |
| Sipping at the citrus cystern, |
| Who'll supress the Cyprus surplus? |
| Says the Soviet to Cyprus, |
| "Send us all your surplus citrus; |
| This is just a simple sample |
| Of Socialist assistance. |
| Should you show a similar surplus |
| In the shimmering summer solstice, |
| Send a summons to the Soviet |
| For surplus citrus solace." |
