The Bail out blues

(spoken)
Alcoholic Wall St.
went on a bender.
Whew did they get drunk.
They passed out cold on the Street

When they woke up
they went to their blender
without booze their poor heart sunk
they looked in the fridge then they threw up
Their investments were nothin but junk

(sung)
They lost all they had
other people's homes
and a billion loans.
The economy looked bad

The Bush Brokers had an idea
We know how to bail you out
A Trillion dollar drink
is what its all about

The neighbors all chipped in
and the Bush brokers bought the booze
they opened Wall Street's mouth
and poured the green gold ooze

Give a drunk some alcohol
like money down the sink
Ask them why they need your cash
they'll smile but they won't blink



Chorus:

Hands in the air you taxpaying jerk
I need all your dough
Hurry up and hand it over
and no one here gets hurt.
