Sing a song of slick men Pocket full of lies. Four and twenty fat cats Terribly unwise. When the truth was spoken They don’t even try. They’re immune to reason And they get all the pie.
Sing a song of no sense And how they persevere How they get elected Year after year Still they have no scruples; Ethically impure, They still win out in the polls. Why is still unclear.
We should build a big fence And lock them all inside. Then impound their fortunes Wherever they hide. Let them see for sure how Crooks we can’t abide. See if they can stand each other Living side by side.
Sing a song of statesmanship Nearly gone extinct Senators and gangsters Not so distinct. The rich still had their millions We lost the kitchen sink. Brought us all to near defeat And pushed us near the brink.
Sing to the tune of the old nursery rhyme about four and twenty blackbirds.
