 Depressing (Feels Like Hoover) 

[On the Economy]

To "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)"

(Words and Music by Paul Simon)

Parody Lyrics by Marcy Shaffer

Arranged by Greg Hilfman

NO DOWN. 
AND CREDIT LINE.
YOU SNIFF THE WHIFF 
OF '29?
JUST GIVING THANKS
I DON'T OWN BANKS
TO MANEUVER.
FEELS LIKE HOOVER.
C.D.O. - OH-OH-OH-OH.
FEELS LIKE HOOVER.
 
WALLOPED WALL STREET:
ARE YOU HEDGING?
I BET YOU GET GEORGE BUSH ALLEGING:
THAT HE WASN'T 
THE APPROVER.
I.O.U. - OO-OO.
FEELS LIKE HOOVER.
C.D.O. - OH-OH-OH-OH.
FEELS LIKE HOOVER.
 
I HAVE NO CASH ON HAND.
NO BALANCE ON MY SHEET.
MY HOME'S LOST FIFTY GRAND.
MARGIN CALLS, I CAN'T MEET.
I'M THE MIDDLE CLASS MASS 
AMID TOTAL DEFEAT.
CALL THE MOVER.
FEELS LIKE HOOVER.
