'Erasmus, Far Off' delves into 'consumeritis' . The lightheartedness of the trad jazz style allows a serious topic to slip in - unnoticed. Here's the lyric:

INTRODUCTION

Erasmus saw a hill and thought,
“I need a bike to reach the top.”
He scrimped and saved and then he bought
a bike from Sidney’s Cycle Shop.
He pedalled up, the self-same day,
and there, far-off, saw Sandy Bay.
He pedalled up, the self-same day
and there, far-off, saw Sandy Bay.
INSTRUMENTAL

Erasmus saw the Bay and thought,
“I need a car to reach the strand.”
He scrimped and saved and then he bought
a car from Carl’s Yard Second-hand.
He drove for hours to Sandy Bay
and there he saw the waves at play.
He drove for hours to Sandy Bay
and there he saw the waves at play.
INSTRUMENTAL

Erasmus saw the waves and thought,
“I need a boat to cruise the sea.”
He scrimped and saved and then he bought
a boat tied up at Sandy Key.
He launched into the ocean spray
and saw the Earth’s rim far away.
He launched into the ocean spray
and saw the Earth’s rim far away.
INSTRUMENTAL

Erasmus saw the rim and thought,
“I need to get strong wings installed.”
He scrimped and saved - but grew distraught;
his stubborn shoulder blades stayed bald. 
And, as he pondered all he’d said,
he felt his bones turn into lead.
And, as he pondered all he’d said,
he felt his bones turn into lead.
And, as he pondered all he’d said,
he felt his bones turn into lead.
