A Musical Tribute to the Debt Ceiling

Boehner and the Debt

To the tune of, "Bennie and the Jets," with all due apologies to Sir Elton John.

Hey kids, debt can't last forever
The ceiling's upon us
And we can't work together.
We'll kill entitlements tonight
so stick around.
That wail will be the left wing howling
solid walls of sound.

Say Barry and Harry and the Gang of Six,
We are so tapped out.
B-B-B Boehner and the Debt.
Oh, it's so weird and so wonderful,
The Tea Party is such a pain
No talk of revenue, just cuts for you and you.
You know we have to guard our capital gain.
B-B-B Boehner and the Debt

Hey Pres, don't be in a big rush
Maybe you're blinded,
an unrequited man crush?
Wall Street will thrive, our position will be long.
We can buy and sell K Street and the Post
To prove we're right and they're wrong.

Say Nancy, Michele, Mitt, Newt, Paul and Mitch
Oh, We are so tapped out.
B-B-B Boehner and the Debt.
Oh, it's so weird and so wonderful,
The Tea Party is such a pain
No talk of revenue, just cuts for you and you.
You know we have to guard our capital gain.
Oh, ho, oho
B-B-B Boehner and the Debt
