Walter's Inheritance *
Sung to the tune "I Can't Give You Anything But Love"

I can't leave you anything but love, Walter.
That's all Bush has left me any of, Walter.
Heard his ravings –
Private savings –
Well, whoop-de-do!
More to spare
For my heir,
And my final ingenue.

Now the market's down despite his lies, Walter,
And he borrowed big to privatize, Walter,
So he billed back what I'd saved for us, Walter –
You and she will have to take the bus.
