Paulsen's Big Rock Candy Mountains

(Ode to TARP ACT II)

(to the melody of Big Rock Candy Mountains)
Lyrics By WilliamBanzai7


One evening as the DOW went down and the S&P was burning
Down the track came a banker hiking and he said boys I'm not turning
I'm headin for a land that's not far away from Wall Street's crystal towers
So come with me we'll go and see the Paulsen's Big Rock Candy Mountains

In Paulsen's Big Rock Candy Mountains there's a land that's fair and bright
Where the handouts grow from the bailout pros and you sleep sound every night
Where the ABS books are all empty and the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees and the bonus trees
Where the perrier springs where the squawk box sings
In the Paulsen's Big Rock Candy Mountains

In Paulsen's Big Rock Candy Mountains all the FEDs have wooden legs
And the shorts all have rubber teeth and the taxpayers lay golden eggs
The trading books are full of fruit and the bankers play all day
Oh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow
In Paulsen's Big Rock Candy Mountains

In Paulsen's Big Rock Candy Mountains you never sell your toxic schlock
And the glimmering streams of origination fees come a-trickling down the rocks
The enforcers have to tip their hats and the bears and shorts are banned
There's a lake of foies gras stew and of champagne too
You can sail all around 'em in your custom yachts
In Paulsen's Big Rock Candy Mountains

In Paulsen's Rock Candy Mountains white collar jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
There ain't no short handled shovels, no axes saws or picks
I'm a goin to stay where you sleep all day
In Paulsen's Big Rock Candy Mountains
