Some TARP Lyrics

Bill Zucker was kind enough to comment on our recent “I Want Some TARP” post and send along lyrics to his song.  Thanks, Bill!

TARP SONG c2008
words and music by Bill Zucker 

Well I am just a poor boy from the streets of Tennessee
I work real hard to pay my bills but its too much for me
I lost my job..they took my home...I’m down on my knees
but I heard about this place where money grows on trees

(Chorus)
I want some tarp
they're giving money away for free
I want some tarp
save a little bit for me
from Boston to Seattle ... across this great big land
tuck your head between your knees.....and take it like a MAN

I’m packing my belongings off to Washington D.C.
They’re printing money left and right
and I want a stack for me
I’ve got an idea that just might work with what they’ve gave the companies
Give everyone a brand new car ...insured by AIG 

(chorus)

What’s with all these bonuses they’re giving to the rich
they’re fillin' up their pockets walking way without a hitch
I’ve gotta grab myself some TARP
cause I hear its going fast
now I know why they call it fanny 'cause their heads are up their...
AS I WAS SAYING 

(chorus)
