CRAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN

(Lyrics: David Lefkowitz. Music: Milton Ager’s 1929 song, “Happy Days are Here Again”)

Banks are failing

Feds are bailing

Look at all the falling stock

War, inflation

Dying nation

Smashing upon Plymouth Rock

Crappy days are here again

The world is filled with fear again

Our savings disappear again

Crappy days are here again

Grab your money from the bank

And hock your clothes to fill your tank

We have George Bush and greed to thank

Crappy days are here again

My, how the deficit’s grown

And good luck getting a loan!

See the banks go up in smoke

And all the brokers going broke

Just like the New York Mets, they choke

Crappy days are here again

Everybody’s lost and numb

And frightened of the days to come

But there are no towers to leap from

Crappy days are here again.

One thing we all know for certain

No one’s hurtin’… at Halliburton

Crappy days will hit us hard

Keep maxing out that credit card

While other countries we bombard

Crappy days are here again!

(slowly) Everyone is sad and stressed

Depression leaves us all depressed

America’s been repossessed

Crappy days are here again.
