 Oh, CRE (Oh, Commercial Real Estate) 

[On Commercial Real Estate]

To "O Christmas Tree (O Tannenbaum)"

(Traditional)

Parody Lyrics by Marcy Shaffer

Arranged by Greg Hilfman

OH, CRE.*
OH, CRE.*
TO WHAT DEGREE 
ARE YOU DEBRIS?
FOR SOPHISTRY IN OFFICE-STRY.
YOUR PROPERTY COULD DROP-ERTY.
YOU USED TO EARN ON CRUISE CONTROL.
NOW YOU MUST TURN ON BRUISE CONTROL.
OH, CRE.
OH, CRE.
UNEASY THE RECOVERY.
 
OH, FDIC.
**
OH, FDIC.**
WHY AMNESTY IN BANK EXAM-NESTY?
YOUR LENDING SPREE UNENDINGLY
PRETENDING WE ARE MENDING-LY.
YOU CAN'T TWEAK A NEW PEAK OUT OF RUBBLE. 
YOU CAN FREAK THIS STREAK MIGHT W.
OH, FDIC.
OH, FDIC.
YOUR CUSTODY A BUST-ODY.
 
OH, TEETERING REIT.
***
OH, TEETERING REIT.***
ONCE SUCH CONCEIT, NOW MINCE-CE-MEAT.
WHENE'ER SQUARE FEET YOU DARE EXCRETE?
DEADBEAT-MENT TREATMENT BY THE STREET.
YOU USED TO BRING THE RING OF BLING.
BUT NOW YOUR THING DOES NOT KA-CHING.
OH, TEETERING REIT.
OH, TEETERING REIT.
HOW BITTERSWEET YOUR TWITTER TWEET.
 
OH, CRE.
OH, CRE.
TO WHAT DEGREE 
ARE YOU DEBRIS?
WITH RETAIL THROWING IN THE KEY.
A DETAIL SHOWING WHAT MAY BE.
YOU USED TO EARN ON CRUISE CONTROL.
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN ON LOSE CONTROL.
OH, CRE.
OH, CRE.
THE TNT IN GDP.
THE TNT 
IS 
CRE.
