(To be sung to "On Broadway" by Cynthia Weil, Barry Mann, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. If you'd like to sing along, here's a midi link which opens a second window.)

They say that things are really bad on Wall Street.
They say there's much malfeasance in the air.
But I don't want to hurt my friends.
And tough laws give my pals the bends.
Then donors drop right off and I'm nowhere.

They say I have to act real tough on Wall Street.
But regulations just give me the blues.
And friends may have to do some time.
Dick Cheney maybe did a crime.
Though Albert Gore couldn't even shine his shoes.

Insider trading made me rich on Wall Street.
When you're a Bush there's magic in the air.
But they say I should jail execs
If they pulled inside trading tricks.
But if I do that then I'll be nowhere.

They say that I won't last too long in DC.
My Harken past will send me home, they think.
But oh! They're dead wrong, I know they are.
Cause I can fight and brawl and spar.
And I won't quit till I'm the czar in DC.

Oh, they're dead wrong, I know they are.
Cause I can fight and brawl and spar.
And I won't quit till I'm the czar in DC.
In DC, in DC, in DC...
