[Pièce de Résistance]

To "Dominique"

(Words and Music by Jeannine Deckers (Soeur Sourire, O.P.)

English Lyrics by Randy Sparks)

Parody Lyrics by Marcy Shaffer

Arranged by Greg Hilfman

DOMINIQUE, NIQUE, NIQUE. 
HOW TO SPEAK OF DOMINIQUE. 
OH, WHAT IS THERE TO SAY? 
IF YOU WENT BRUTE TOWARD LA FEMME? 
YOUR REPUTE CRÈME DE LA CRÈME. 
WILL BE MORE LIKE CRÈME BRULÉE. 
 
YOU LED THE MONETARY FUND 
WITH SAVVY SAVOIR-FAIRE. 
I'M SURE, OH, BRACED THE EURO 
WHEN YOU GRABBED ITS DERRIÈRE. 
NOW YOU WERE GREAT WHEN IN '08 
THE SKY WAS FALLING DOWN. 
HOW IT MUST TORQUE TO FIND NEW YORK 
IS NOT YOUR KIND OF TOWN. 
 
DOMINIQUE, NIQUE, NIQUE. 
THE POLITIQUE OF DOMINIQUE. 
IN THE SUITES OF THE ELITES. 
TAKING GERMANY TO DANCE. 
WHILE MAKING LOVE TO FRANCE. 
WITHOUT FORSAKING WALL STREET'S SHEETS. 
 
OH, GREECE IS FLAILING MADLY 
AS AUSTERITY GOES CLUNK. 
IRELAND'S BAILING BADLY 
FROM PROSPERITY TO JUNK. 
THE MIX OF TRICKS AMONG THE BRICS 
HAVE WESTERN CLIQUES EN GARDE. 
WHAT IF IN ALL THE CHAOS 
OUR PETARD IS JARRED TOO HARD? 
 
DOMINIQUE, NIQUE, NIQUE. 
IT IS BLEAK, DOMINIQUE. 
WE'RE REELING HOW YOU LEFT. 
I DO NOT SEEK A SAINT. 
BUT IF I HAVE ONE COMPLAINT: 
IT IS FEELING IMF'D. 
 
IF THIS HAS BEEN A SET-UP, 
IT CAN'T BE SUCH A JOLT. 
YOU GET TO JETTING DEBT UP, 
SOMEBODY WILL REVOLT. 
YOU SHOW MORE REGULATION, 
EACH FOE WILL CROW "FAUX PAS." 
YOU SLOW GLOBALIZATION, 
AND, LO, THE COUP DE GRÂCE. 
 
YES, POWER IS A BLOOD SPORT, 
DO YOU STILL LOVE IT MOST? 
CAN YOU TOWER OVER THE MUD, SPORT?  
OR HAVE YOU OVERDOSED? 
LIKE THE EUROZONE'S TRIED HOLDING ON. 
LIKE THE WORLD HAS TRIED TO COAST. 
YOU'RE ON A RIDE THAT WILL DECIDE 
IF YOU ARE CLASSIFIED: 
FRENCH TOAST. 
 
DOMINIQUE, NIQUE, NIQUE. 
WHAT A STREAK, DOMINIQUE. 
AND I'D THINK ONE THING IS TRUE: 
AT YOUR EVER CLEVER BEST. 
YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED. 
THAT THE BLACK SWAN COULD BE YOU. 
THE BLACK SWAN COULD BE YOU.
