The Falling Dollar Speaks Up *
Sung to the tune
"I've Got A Feeling I'm Falling"

Oh Bushies, you Bushies,
You're driving me downward.
You think my markdown would
Be nothing to fear.

You're funny about money.
You're thinking that exports
Will exceed imports
If I fall on my ear.

Koreans won't buy –
Must be they know that I'm falling.
Now watch the hullabaloo.

Bush thinks he's sly,
But ev'ryone knows that he's stalling.
Can't do a thing if he hasn't a clue.

So as I get cheaper
I've remained a keeper,
But if I dip deeper,
I'll be his bugaboo.

Mortgage lenders stand by –
The value of most homes is falling.
Are your refinanced mortgages past due?
