Description:
A description of the Bush administration policy of making sure that the money goes to the rich and the bills go to the poor.
Music based on "Oh Susannah" and "Turkey in the Straw" (BOTH public Domain.)

Lyrics:
The economy is shaky in the old U. S. of A
and economists are flaky as to how we got this way,
but the Bush administraton knows too well why times are tough:
'Cause the poor have too much money and the rich don't have enough.

See, we are the noble wealthy and and we all spend huge amounts
on Hummers, mansions and off shore accounts
For God knows that we deserve it and know how it should be spent
and the poor would only blow it all on groceries and rent

Send us all your money or we'll get such a cramp
Join the President and help to send a Billionaire to camp

when you're rich no one can understand the horrors you go through
the exhausting labor that we have to do
sure poor people think they struggle just to get a little pay
but the reading of a will can take the best part of a day

Send us all your money or we'll get such a cramp
Join the President and help to send a Billionaire to camp

we don't really care that the economy's in tatters
'cause no one will do badly; well, at least no one who matters.

Turkey in the straw, while others makin' hay. &mdash 07/10/06 - 01:56:55 PM
Good lyrics and an accurate reading of what is happening across US at
the federal and state levels.

Well Davis.... Well Monkaton.... &mdash 07/10/06 - 05:12:35 PM
I think it was Uncle Monty that summed it up best (see Rep and Dem for Tor and
Lab...) in that most quintessential of modern British cinema classics "Withnail &
I".......
"My boys, we are at the end of an age. We live in a land of weather forcasts and
breakfasts that set in. Shat on by Tories, shovelled up by Labour....and we
three.. perhaps the last Island of beauty... in the world..."

Carried off very well. Very good lyrics but the key is the delivery. Very
dramatic. NIce.

I actually just started writing a few years ago.. Threw out the early stuff because it was self conscious and pompous.
This is getting to be fun.. and a great way to get the anger out. I live in Detroit, and do this stuff live here. I've been getting good response.
Thanks again

Davis
