BLANKFEIN: "CAN YOU SPARE A DIME?"

I'm Blankfein, Brother Can You Spare a Dime?

They used to tell me I was building a global investment bank, and so I followed the mob,
When there were fees to plow, or risks to bear, I was always Johnny on the spot.
They used to tell me I was building a global bank, with wealth and glory ahead,
Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bailout bread?

Once I built a golden bank, I made it run, made it race the markets.
Once I built a golden investment bank; now it's done.
I'm Blankfein, brother can you spare a dime?

Once I built a Wall Street tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime;
Once I built a tower, now it's not fun. Brother, can you spare a dime?

Once in Saville Row suits, gee we looked swell,
Screwed all them Yankee Doodly Dummies,
Half a million bankers went marching around the globe,
Now I'm the guy with the bailout baton!

Say, don't you remember, they called me Slick; it was Slick all the time.
Why don't you remember, I'm your pal?
I'm Blankfein, brother can you spare a dime?

Once in Saville Row suits, gee we looked swell,
Screwed all them Yankee Doodly Dummies,
Half a million banker brogues went marching,
Now I'm the guy with the bailout baton!

Say, don't you remember, they called me Slick; it was Slick all the time.
Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal?
I'm Blankfein, brother can you spare a dime?
