Bushie's Housing Bubble Bursts
(in Poundridge, NY)

To be sung with Ruth Etting to the tune
"Glad Rag Doll"
(All dolled up in glad rags, tomorrow may turn to sad rags)

Verse
Built to please a Bushie,
Designed by, we suppose,
A friend he found he thought up to the task.
The little it'll cost you?
Ev'ry buyer knows
You can't afford it if you need to ask.

Chorus
Stonewalled up
French mansion –
Why borrow for an expansion?
This place has got it all.

Two fish ponds,
One small brook
He says babbles gobble-de-gook
With a slight south Texan drawl.

It's the kind of place
   you'll feel OK with.
Just phone to let him know
   which card you will pay with

You can speak
Castilian?
His price to you, two point two million,
If you can close this Fall.
