Bush's Pie In the Sky
Sung to the Harold Arlen tune
"Stormy Weather"

Don't know why
Pie in the sky before you die is no vote getter –
As welcome as accountant paper shredders –
Stock market's falling all the time.

Life ain't fair.
Get no answer to my prayer for more stock bettors.
Must fear AIG is a trendsetter,
That Enron happens all the time.

Damn that Kenny Lay –
Keeps coming back to haunt me.
Helped destroy AA so nonchalantly.
Even though I pray, the market taunts me –
Will it ever bubble again?

Hanging on,
But may have to count upon
Lots of chain letters.
The markets falling, not the prime.
