To "Flashdance … What A Feeling"
(Lyrics by Keith Forsey and Irene Cara/
Music by Giorgio Moroder)
Parody Lyrics by Marcy Shaffer
It's been a killer.
How the U.S. responds.
To the shambles
of gambles
that can't be sold.
With the chill of Case-Shiller.
And the bonds of our bonds.
In a jam.
facing scrambles to gold.
For this threat, they are betting.
There's a net they can set.
It's their pet tourniquet.
It is:
debt!
What a ceiling!
Mercantiling.
Now sends every risk
To the U.S. fisc.
we learn.
After trillions.
Are there zillions?
Since we make no goods.
Could a Bretton Woods
Return?
Every clever endeavor.
That the Street did beget.
Can't de-lever it yet.
Without:
debt!
What a ceiling!
When you're dealing
With recapping banks.
Who are clapping: "Thanks, that's nice."
Spike the panic.
Like the Titanic.
Once you've struck the ice.
you are stuck to pay the price.
What a ceiling!
What a ceiling!
(What schmuck would be shopping here?)
When you're kneeling.
(The buck may be stopping here.)
Once a superpower,
a super KOWtower now.
Not appealing.
(We tried to have it all.)
And revealing.
(Another Predator's Ball.)
Hark, it's markets seize like the Japanese,
oh wow…
What a ceiling!
