The Lyrics

Grafting churl, his name is Henry P.
Although a thief, he is still running free,
So when an infamous boondoggle's seen. . .
Butt sore? 'cause I'm groovin' in between.

Baby, gonna thrive on TARP.*
I'm a bottom-feeding carp.
Baby, gonna thrive on TARP;
To taxpayers: F**K YOU!!

Because of those churls, my prospects are good.
Well past your nates I'm thrusting wood.
You ain't got peanuts; for me it's good times.
I'll never do time for all my crimes.

Baby, gonna thrive on TARP.
I'm a bottom-feeding carp.
Baby, gonna thrive on TARP;
To taxpayers: SCREW YOU!!

Weep, weep, shmucks, weep, weep, yeah!

Baby, gonna thrive on TARP.
I'm a bottom-feeding carp.
Baby, gonna thrive on TARP;
To taxpayers: F**K YOU!!

Hank, Tim**, and churls are givin' it away;
It just sits there to take. . .grabs lots; what can I say?
Parasite carp, I am doin' my part
To drive you to ruin; graft, that's my art.

Baby, gonna thrive on TARP.
I'm a bottom-feeding carp.
Baby, gonna thrive on TARP;
To taxpayers: YOU'S SCREWED!!

Weep, weep, shmucks, weep, weep, yeah!
Deep, deep rut, deep, deep, yeah!
Me keep bunch, keep, keep, yeah!



*Troubled Assets Relief Program, the ultimate in corporate welfare
**Geithner, Obama's tax-dodging Treasury Secretary and Paulson protégé, so I'm told

So, John, tell us what you really think - oh, this is it. Well, I'll give you a 555 before they take that away and give it to banks.
