Wall Street Madams and Their Hookers
Who's booking who?

How can plans to regulate
    ever make it out the gate
If hookers use the lobbyists as bookers?
The Senate's full of crooks –
    prostitution's on its books –
And madams can't exist without their hookers.

How do they work it? Who's to blame?
Who won't name names? Who's fixed the game?
Who foolishly lets Moodys keep the scores?
There's no short circuit or blown fuse –
It isn't just a case of booze –
It's "campaign contributions" to the whores.

Meanwhile penalties banks charge
    debit cards are looming large
And you and I can't do a thing about it.
So in almost ev'ry mail
    greedy bankers without fail
Drool excessively and tout it.

How do they work it? Who's to blame?
Who won't name names? Who's fixed the game?
Who foolishly lets Moodys keep the scores?
There's no short circuit or blown fuse –
Nor is it more expensive booze –
It's mostly madams and their Senate whores.

Must we stage an epidemic
    to show bankers what systemic
Wagers on Blue Cross insurers risk?
If AIG/Blue Cross should fail
    without Timmy Geithner's bail,
Business at San Quentin could be brisque,

How do they work it? Who's to blame?
Who won't name names? Who's fixed the game?
Who foolishly lets Moodys keep the scores?
There's no short circuit or blown fuse –
Only perks their gamblers use
Like Wall Street's madams and their Senate whores.
