I think this is the title. It is certainly part of the refrain. Thanks

Gee, TJ, can you tell us any more about the song? It's not much go go on. Any more phrases from the lyrics you remember? Who recorded it, and what era and style?

Yeah, I thought is was a "Lament of a Lonesome Capitalist," or something like that. I searched all over - Wall Street Journal, and everything...

I thought it was a typographical error. I was thinking "Can't Get Staph No More."
