Verse 1
CUp on the East side of Manhattan,
They’re still dFancing with thCe stars.
While Fover in sub prime cCity,
It’s getting angry in the locaGl bars
FWatching the news only Cgives me the blues
There’s too much goinAmg wrong.
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.

Chorus
It’s tFhe price of oil,
the wCar of the spoils.
Where’s your bucket for the big baAmilout?
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 pouBbr me some Tennessee wFhiskey,
Bbpour me a fine Jamaican ruFm.
BbThat loud mouth soup
Fgets me kind of looped
DTequila, of course I’ll haveG some!
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.
