How 'Ya Gonna Stop 'Em?
To be sung to the tune
"How Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down On the Farm?"

"Rubin, Rubin, we've been thinkin',
Now the end is near,
Blue Dogs and Republicans are still itchin' to fight.
If you stirred a little, do you think that they might?

"Mr. Rubin, your hoodwinkin'
Helped create this fuss.
If you could find a way to screw up Wall Street again,
They wouldn't have the moxie to be botherin' us.

"So how 'ya gonna stop 'em makin' nice with Rahm.
After they've toyed with Tim?
How 'ya gonna wean 'em from Bernanke?
Int'rest free loans –
Tweakin' Dow Jones –
How 'ya gonna keep 'em from bribin' Rahm?
Daley's cherubim –

"We health insurers know the DOJ is unjust.
McCarran guaranteed they can't apply antitrust.
So how 'ya gonna stop 'em makin' nice with Rahm,
After they've toyed with Tim?"
