You're out of work – Bush presiding. A policy quirk – Bush presiding. Some laugh while you cry? Well, fiddle-de-dee. Economics apply. The rich pamper me. So I cut their tax While you got the ax And a few more Bushwhacks – Bush presiding. The economy tanked – Bush presiding. Your credit card yanked – Bush presiding. But please understand this went just like I planned. Labor's cheap in Thailand, so for those who got canned, With really strong backs We supply a pickax And assorted Bushwhacks – Bush presiding. Your bills are unpaid – Bush presiding. No government aid – Bush presiding. With the cost of the war I've no room to maneuver. What you've got on your hands is a new Herbert Hoover, With gifts to the rich and lost jobs to the poor, For running this mess can't be toujours d'amour – Bush presiding.

CAFTA you've been mulled over. CAFTA you'll be still born. NAFTA's left most of us reeling – Thousands of jobs are gone. We've enough Mexicans aching For U.S. jobs. It's the rage – And as soon as Bush lets enough over, He can lower our minimum wage. * The New York Times - 11/24/04 Editorial - "NAFTA Redux" * The Washington Post - 3/8/05 "Senate Votes Against Higher Minimum Wage"

Chinabound, they're Chinabound, Or perhaps Tibet – Records that your ex-wife found On the Internet. Doctors' notes that got transcribed In another land. Viagra prescribed out-of-town – She didn't understand. * CNN - 2/22/05 "Medical Records Being Transcribed in Bangladesh"

Give them jobs, lots of jobs. I demand you let them in. Don't wall them out. What's it matter they're illegal? They're all my next of kin. Don't wall them out. Let them send what they make back to help me ease Our chronic unemployment while I catch my zzzz's – How can I live in style without my finder's fees? Don't wall them out. Just turn them loose, they'll skedaddle while we prattle about freedom and Bush lies. He's so obtuse that it's easy to be sleazy as he tries to verbalize. Let me tell Montezuma his revenge commences The minute I coax Junior to remove his fences. As Wolfowitz has proved he's blind to consequences. Don't wall them out. * The Washington Post - 3/17/05 "Fox Says Walls Along Border Must Be Razed"

I'm flying high, But they say the job market's falling – Falling for ev'ryone else but me. Numbers don't lie And I've got this feeling I'm loving Ev'rything Rove says they're showing me. Why would we worry whether We've struck stormy weather? We're in this together, me and you. So, Mister, won't you stand by If you've got a feeling you're falling – Who do you know lost his job but you?
Music by Fats Waller |

Joy for Fox World! Employers know Expensive jobs must go. Bush wants them to outsource Their best paid jobs, of course, Then hire more Mexicans, Then hire more Mexicans, Then hire illegal underpaid ex-Mexicans, Joy for Fox World! Their time has come. George Bush has seen to that. It now is no joke That Spanish must be spoke By most Americans, By most Americans, Like indigent and unemployed Americans. Joy for Fox World! The time will come When Fox should be our king As Bush departs, Fox would deport Excess Americans, Who were ex-Mexicans, Replacing them with replaced ex-Americans.

Pre-approved, Here's your application. Pre-approved, Tell us your vocation. Then check off how large a line of debt you'd like – Maybe twenty thousand? How 'bout two hundred thousand With more down the pike? Pre-approved, You're a modest spender. Pre-approved, We'll be your fav'rite lender, Until you miss a payment 'cause you lost your job, you louse – You're in great big trouble, The Market popped its bubble, So we took your house – No way out, Bush's Congress says – No way out, Unless you're the prez Of a giant corporation like Kenny Lay who's got Enough moolah To hire Abdullah So you don't owe squat. No way out, For the little person. No way out, They'll keep you dispersin' All your hard earned dough to the giant banks you owe Through MasterCard and Visa Who, like Mona Lisa, Are now smiling 'cause The Congress that they bought could not say "No!" * The Washington Post - 3/11/05 "Senate Passes Bill to Restrict Bankruptcy"

Wrong again, you would think he'd have learned. Wrong again, he and we will be burned. Why does he take Vinnie Fox's advice? Quite obviously Big Oil met their price. Wrong again, Fox's lobbyists win. Wrong again, jobs for Fox and his kin. Just four percent of the oil that we'll need? Wrong again, it's for corporate greed. Wrong again, the environment spoiled. Wrong again, greedy palms getting oiled. Why not call SUVs what they are? Who will pay Congress to make them a "car"? Wrong again, fuel economy sucks. Wrong again, they'll use Fox's influx. But Alaska's big, what's another oil well? And caribou tacos are swell. "But we likes polar bear." And polar bear tacos are swell. * The New York Times - 3/16/05 Editorial - "More Energy Follies"
