Wall Street

Old Mister Wall
on your street stood tall
on your street with your money, all

You sat at his feet
at the bank on your street
and begged with words so sweet

You knelt on his step
and for money you wept
on your knees to him you crept

Mister Wall in his bank
with usury stank
and your money you took with a thank

Mister Wall so sweet
with his bank on your street
and the repayments you couldn’t meet

Mister Wall took your house
divorced you your spouse
Mister Wall! Oh you! What a louse

you knelt on his step
and for money you wept
on your knees to him you crept

you gave him your money
divorced you your honey
Mister Wall lay in places so sunny

Mister Wall danced a jig
stuck you like a pig
Mister Wall danced a jig

Mister Wall danced a jig
you squeal like a pig
Mr Wall danced a jig

Mister Wall overlent
to those overspent
Oh! The economy racked and rent

debt took its flight
as high as a kite
this blood sucking Wallian parasite

Mister Wall cried and lied
in fear the government fried
you the people cried

What of our houses
our cars and our spouses
all threatened by Wallian louses

Idiot Bush, your taxes in millions
gave poor Mister Wall your billions
Mister Wall danced a jig with trillions

Old doggy Gordon
did the same in London
Bankers now dance a jig with trillions
