Oh, the price of gold is rising out of sight,
And the dollar is in sorry shape tonight.
What a dollar use to get us
Now won`t get a head of lettuce,
No, the economic forecast isn`t bright.
But amidst the clouds I spot a shining ray,
I begin to glimpse a new and better way.
I`ve devised a plan of action,
Worked it down to the last fraction,
And I`m going into action here today:
Cho: I am changing my name to Chrysler,
I am going down to Washington D.C.
I will tell some power broker,
`What you did for Iacocca
Would be perfectly acceptable to me.`
I am changing my name to Chrysler,
I am leaving for that great receiving line.
When they hand a million grand out,
I`ll be standing with my hand out,
Yes sir, I`ll get mine.
When my creditors come screaming for their dough,
I`ll be proud to tell them all where they can go.
They won?t have to yell and holler,
They`ll be paid to the last dollar
Where the endless streams of money seem to flow.
I`ll be glad to show them all what they must do.
It?s a matter of a simple form or two.
It`s not just remuneration, it?s a lib`ral education,
Makes you kind of glad that I?m in debt to you.
Cho.
Since the first amphibian crawled out of the slime,
We`ve been struggling in an unrelenting climb.
We were hardly up and walking
Before money started talking,
And it`s said that failure is an awful crime.
It`s been that way a millenium or two;
Now it seems there is a different point of view.
If you`re a corporate Titanic
And your failure is gigantic,
Down in Congress there`s a safety net for you.
