Verse 1

CUp on the East side of Manhattan,

They’re still danFcing with the Cstars.

While Fover in sub prime cCity,

It’s getting angry in the local Gbars

FWatching the news only Cgives me the blues

There’s too much going Amwrong.

It takes the lFikes of me to hit the rCeboot key

and write a Ghigh speed drinking sCong.

Verse 2

Millionaires losing everything.

Hey, welcome to the other side of life!

There goes the yacht, there goes the Rolls,

But, you get to keep your wife!

And don’t forget the automakers

swimming up stream like a trout.

They let the shi* hit the fan

and then they made a plan

We’ve got a lot to drink about.

It’s theF price of oil,

the wCar of the spoils.

Where’s your bucket for the big bailAmout?

FIraq, Iran, AfghCanistan,

We’ve got a lot to drink about.

Verse 3

Now, Madoff made off with all the money.

Now his clients are down to skunk weed.

Repeat after me, it’s so easy to see

We’re only talking simple greed.

And those Somalian pirates are counting all the gold.

While Bush and Cheney ain’t around

and all the good lookers seem to be Czech hookers

from Key West to London town.

So pouA♯r me some Tennessee wFhiskey,

A♯pour me a fine Jamaican ruFm.

A♯That loud mouth soup

Fgets me kind of looped

DTequila, of course I’ll have sGome!

Verse 4

Now the family devalues

and little children count their net worth

and the truth wherever it’s hiding,

can be found on Google Earth.

Citibank’s buying jets with our money.

I wanna flog ‘em with a buggy whip.

I hope Obama and Joe won’t let the volcano blow

and patch the hole in our sinking ship.

Outro

Verse)

Recession, Depression, the question good God

CNN keeps bumming me out.

I can’t take another doomsday moment.

We got a lot to drink, a lot to think,

a lot to drink about.
