The Man In The Men's Warehouse Suit
Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke

Is that Ben Bernanke in a Men's Warehouse suit
Playing at "banker", but so poorly paid?
What can his Board of Directors be thinking?
Blankfein makes millions and his suit's tailormade.

Yet Ben is the guy who makes mammoth decisions,
Like whether the markets should go up or down.
Blankfein's commandments are to keep bilking billions
So they can enjoy more big nights on the town.

Then we have Geithner whose suits come from Saks.
Just the sound of the name gives Timmy goose bumps.
He gets his kicks out of boosting bank profits
So consumer card debtors are assured of their lumps.

The result's a reduction in consumer spending
And bigger bank bonuses from high interest rates.
His golden umbrella's to become an executive
Who's legitimately one of Blankfein's playmates.

Blankfein's umbrella is to make off with millions
And not go to jail just for cooking the books.
Ben's only umbrella is the store's guarantee:
In his Men's Warehouse suit he will like how he looks.
