The Dollar's Gone *
Sung to the tune
"The Thrill Is Gone"

The Dollar's gone. Forest Lawn.
Advocates of trickle-down –
Bushie celibate, Ms. Frown –
Black or white negating brown –
The Dollar's gone.

The Dollar's dead. In the red.
Chinese imports were pop art –
Now with WalMart, off the chart –
IBM sells off its heart –
The Dollar's gone.

Undertakers on the take
Wrote their own "Dear John" –
The Dollar's gone.
