Little Mac Wants To Drill In the Spring Oil speculators celebrating the London ICE Futures Exchange and John McCain while singing Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Flowers That Bloom In The Spring" (The flowers that bloom in the Spring, Tra-la) Oil prices have risen this Spring, Tra-la. Oil futures are doing just fine. With the higher gas prices they bring, Tra-la, Our profits will lessen the sting, Tra-la, Of attempts to control and malign This manna for our bottom line And the housing mortgage decline – For London ICE Futures will still be the thing That determines what Brent's going to cost in the Spring, Tra-la-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la-la, Plus West Texas crude and most everything, Tra-la-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la-la-la. Oil futures look great for next Spring, Tra-la. Gas prices will have to keep pace. Inflation by then will be in full swing, Tra-la, Not just for gas, but for heating Sing Sing, Tra-la. Speculators are setting a "blistering" pace As we lead regulators a merry olde chase, And though they may win, it will be case by case – For London ICE Futures will still be the thing That determines what Brent will cost you next Spring, Tra-la-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la-la, Plus West Texas crude with Bush no longer king, Tra-la-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la-la-la. Little Mac wants to drill in the Spring, Tra-la, As well as suspend the gas tax, Not the six percent margin of which we sing, Tra-la, That's warranteeing our speculative fling, Tra-la, For Paulson, on behalf of his ex, Goldman Sachs, Has snookered the public, resulting in Mac's Addiction to drilling in search of greenbacks For London ICE Futures that still are the thing That determines what Brent sets you back in the Spring, Tra-la-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la-la, As well as Mac's profit on a buffalo wing, Tra-la-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la-la, Tra-la-la-la-la-la.
