Three credit cards for all and sundry under the not-so-prime sun,
Seven ID Cards for the government agencies in their fortresses of stone,
Nine for voting, driving, rationing, drinking et all,
One for the Government that sits on throne,
In the Land of Delhi where the fog thickens
One Card to rule them all, One Card to find them,
One Card to bring them all and in the thick fog bind them into vote banks
In the Land of Elections where the fog thickens.


Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
