(Intro, first four lines below is sung to the melody at the very beginning of Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer)

There was Citicorp, Morgan, A-I-G and Wa-Mu.
Freddie and Fannie, big checks were made out to.
'Mong those from the Street of Wall
He keepsthe loosest purse strings of all.

Paulson the Dough-man,
Takes the TARP cash and he doles
Out to Goldman Sachs
Where policies were lax.
Never mind taxpayer’s polls.
.
Paulson the Dough-man
Enunciationdisarray.
He just hems and haws
Prays the credit thaws
Change his mind most everyday.

We hope it won’t turn trag-ic with tax-pay-ers funds abound
So blow another trillion, Hank, while we wait for the re-bound.

Hey!

Paulson the Dough-Man
He hoped Main Street’d be okay
Thought the money’d flow, but what do you know?
Banks squirreled it all away.

Stumpity-stump-stump, Stumpity-stump-stump
Pitch his plan wherever he go.
Stumpity-stump-stump, Stumpity-stump-stump
Like a poor-man’s Ross Perot.


Paulson The Dough-man
On The Hill he got his way.
Didn’t think to thank,
Even Barney Frank
Hank’s a self-proclaimed Sensei.

Due to the pillage,
Keeps his checkbook close at hand,
Thanks to ‘ol Chris Cox and de-pressed stocks
At his whim, he’d change The Plan.
.
Congress gave the leeway so he’d be thee lone TARP cop.
He can dish it up as he sees fit,
Will his spending ever stop?

No!

Paulson the Dough-man
And the TARP funds he holds sway
Soon he’ll wave goodbye,
Admit it went awry
On Inauguration Day.


Pumpity-pump-pump, Pumpity-pump-pump
Make liquidity grow.
Pumpity-pump-pump, Pumpity-pump-pump
Bare-faced he let it flow.
