I was inspired to try this by the recent economic mess and how our government is handling it all.
What I’ve got you’ve got to give it to your gov’ment.
What I’ve got they’ve got to give it as a payment.
What I’ve got they’ve got to give it for the bail-out.
They do a little dance and try to not be a big sell-out.

What I’ve got I’ve got to hold it put it a-way
What I’ve got I’ve got to hold it so I don’t pay.
What I’ve got I’ve got to save it for a rainy day
Reeling with the feeling of my money going a-way.

Realize I don’t want to be a miser
‘Cause I know the government will never be the wiser
As it is, debt is gushing like a geyser
But those fat cats, they keep preaching from their riser.

Give it away give it away give it away now
Give it away give it away give it away now
Give it away give it away give it away now
They get their way and I’m a pauper

Greedy big people in a sea of distress
Deregulation asked for in a pretty nice dress
Them and government they got us into this mess
We ask “Bail out?”They say hell yes

I'm a low brow but I rock a little know how
No time for greedy they should be sent to the hoosegow
Start rethinking how to run the business pow-wow
Never been a better time than right now

Congress, they a poet and a prophet?
Congress took economy and offed it
Congress never walkin like they talk it
Goodness me cant you see I’m gonna cough it

Give it away give it away give it away now
Give it away give it away give it away now
Give it away give it away give it away now
Ooh... ooh yeah

Give it away give it away give it away now
Give it away give it away give it away now
Give it away give it away give it away now
They get their way and I’m a pauper

ONLY thing I would have changed would have been the chorus/refrain Give it away, Give it away, Give 'em a bailout (x3) Just that one thing. But it makes really no difference in the voting. 5s all around.
