First, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac went bust & failed
The government took over, and they still prevailed
Now Lehman Brothers winds up in the red, bankrupt
Lotta' big investors goin' belly up..

Things rock,
Shakin' Wall Street's whole block
Brokers holdin' tons a' worthless stock
Not to worry, Gov's a BailOut Rock

Some old established firms are slippin' by the inch
Bank of America buys dyin' Merrill Lynch
When AIG's cash equity starts fallin' fast
With taxpayers' billions " Old Gov" saves their ass

Things rock,
All a' Wall Street's in hock
Country's finance needs to see a Doc
All the Biggies get a BailOut Rock

Now Congress meets in session with a rushed debate
The President says hurry up. things just can't wait
'Bout seven hundred billion could be the price tag
Don't worry, Donald Trump has got it in his bag

Things rock,
Seconds tick on the clock
Better tuck a dollar in our sock
Gov's still chippin' on the BailOut Rock

This couldn't happen at a much worse time
Our National election's in the light of lime
Obama and McCain just might be wishin' bad,
With all this country's problems, kept the job they had..

Things rock,
Bankers nervously flock
Better stash some money in a crock
Might be shafted by the BailOut Rock

Gettin' shafted by the BailOut Rock
Gettin' shafted by the BailOut Rock
Bein' taken by the BailOut Rock
On our money box there ain't no lock

We're all payin' for the BailOut Rock

Yeah, payin' for the BailOut Rock

Ten thou a fam'ly for the BailOut Rock..
