Uncle Sam's Lament - The Foremen[00:00:00]

Well it ain't no hype[00:00:07]

Times is tough[00:00:11]

I'm cryin' and wipin' my nose on my cuff[00:00:14]

And I stand out on the sidewalk[00:00:20]

With my hand out in the cold[00:00:23]

Buddy can you spare a billion dollars [00:00:28]

Well I'm feelin' blue[00:00:35]

'Tain't feelin' pink[00:00:39]

'Cause I printed too much green stuff with red ink[00:00:43]

And I walk up Main Street Anytown [00:00:48]

In hock up to my neck[00:00:52]

Buddy can you spare a billion dollars [00:00:55]

Once the sun was high[00:01:03]

And I was everybody's Uncle Sam[00:01:06]

All I had to do was point a finger at 'em and say [00:01:10]

"I want you "[00:01:14]

Now the sky is cloudy[00:01:17]

And they swear they don't know who I am[00:01:19]

I'm mildly recessed[00:01:23]

And tremendously overdressed[00:01:25]

A billion dollars[00:01:31]

Why that's a thousand million dollars [00:01:34]

That's enough to fill the Houston Astrodome[00:01:37]

With Good & Plenty [00:01:39]

That's enough to support[00:01:41]

Arianna Huffington for six or seven years [00:01:42]

That's enough to buy every banjo ever made [00:01:47]

But for me that's just one day's interest payment [00:01:51]

Now when I was secure[00:01:58]

I was a mensch[00:02:02]

I rebuilt Europe in spite of the French[00:02:06]

Now I'm flat out on the sidewalk[00:02:11]

With my hat out in the snow[00:02:14]

Buddy hey buddy[00:02:18]

Anybody can you spare a billion dollars[00:02:24]
