WALL STREET HOUSE OF THE SUBPRIME SLUM
(House of the Rising Sun, The Animals)
WilliamBanzai7

There is a crooked house on Wall Street
They call the House of the Subprime Slum
And it will be the ruin of many a poor boy
And God Elliot Spitzer knows he's one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my pinstriped jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
But this I've never seen

Now the only thing a Wall Street gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when the market's drunk

------ organ solo ------

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what these crooked banker's have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the Wall Street's House of the Subprime Slum

Well, I got one foot on the subway platform
The other foot in front of the train
I'm goin' back to where I came
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house on Wall Street
They call the House of the Subprime Slum
And it's been the ruin of many a poor banker boy
Viagra chewing, hooked and crooked Wall Street bums
