The Lyrics

Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That ceiling is bound to get you,

Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That ceiling is bound to get you,

Debt talks, debt talks, debt talks, debt talks, debt talks...mmm...

(Female singer)

U.S. Debt,
Start in to print, then soon, you’ll be printing,
U.S. Debt,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,

One, two, three,
It’s a new sensation, (dee-de-oh!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the debt that’s putting the House on its feet,

U.S. Debt,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
U.S. Debt,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that

If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll end this at once,
Well, simple as ABC,
It’s the U.S. Debt!

(Vocal group)

U.S. Debt,
Start in to print, then soon, you’ll be printing,
U.S. Debt,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,

One, two, three,
It’s a new sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the debt that’s putting the House on its feet,

U.S. Debt,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
U.S. Debt,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that

If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll end this at once,
Simple as ABC,
It’s the U.S. Debt, whoa!

U.S. Debt,
(instrumental call-back)
U.S. Debt,
(instrumental call-back)

One, two, three,
It’s a new sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the debt that’s putting the House on its feet,

U.S. Debt,
(instrumental call-back)
U.S. Debt,
(instrumental call-back)

If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll end this at once,
Simple as ABC,
It’s the U.S. Debt, whoa!

Simple as the day is long!
