Blueblood Bailout

Things are not like they used to be in Greenwich anymore. Just last week I had to sell my sailboat and the country club dues are past due. Heaven knows what will happen next. I may even have to downgrade from a Maybach to a Volvo. What is a man to do! Here is my story lyrics below.

Blueblood Bailout 12/2008

Money used to roll in all the time
Now I say buddy can you spare a dime
The Blueblood Bailouts come to Greenwich town
And I can't sail my yacht
I cant afford the fuel to fill it up
Lehman, Bear Stearns, WaMu, Merrill Lynch

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I've got a big fat lender trying to break me
'Cause I'd love to live so pleasantly
Sell debt like it used to be
Lazin' on a Tuesday afternoon
In summertime
In summertime
On the unemployment line

I didnt care what kind of risks I took
Credit default swaps got me off the hook




My counterparty now has lost it all
Tried to live like the upper crust
Until our stock went boom to bust
A moral hazard, its alright with me

Help me, Help me, Help me get away
I need $700 billion to rescue this place




Cause Id love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin on a Tuesday afternoon
In summertime
On the unemployment line

I used to own some shares in Fannie Mae




Where they socialize the losses and privatize the gains
Lehman, Bear Stearns, WaMu, AI
.was a member of the country club
Now I cant afford a beer a the local pub
All Ive gots this sunny afternoon




Tax me, tax me, tax me till I cry
When the moneys gone, Ill lay down and die




Oh we all sold crap it sold so well
Mark to market, go to hell
Lazin on a Tuesday afternoon
In summertime
On the unemployment line

"Tripp & the gang" - You have a glorious voice for the despair that we mortgage bankers are feeling..... not able to provide any necessities for our families. Would you like a job with my new opportunity fund?

[TrippWorthington]

I will consider it if the pay is above $2,000,000 per year and I am not subject to any reprimands regarding the fact that I am contributing value that Obama and his friends only wish they could comprehend.

To hell with Tripp - probably entrusted all his money with Bernie - got what he deserved - if he were smart he'd put the girl on Broadway - make all his money back in no time and then some - so take a tip Tripp and give the girl a chance - it's a whole new world out there and you bluebloods better get some soul - as Dr. Sam Johnson once said: "The sheriff is near"

[lvinios]

I feel for Trip. However, the real tragedy is the emotional scarring from which his daughter may never fully recover...even if she regains her platinum card.

Mr. Worthington,

This is Bertrand Ryan with the GAG (Greenwich Auto Group), we have attempted to contact you several times over the recent months. There appears to be some unpaid invoices from this previous autumn, but unfortunately you have failed to adhere to our set payment deadlines. As a result of your negligence, our associates at the REEK (Reposession, Eviction, Encumbrance, Kopany Inc.) have taken the liberty to file you for chapter 7 (straight bankruptcy) on your behalf. Love, Bertrand

Much better than the author's last release.

Funny but true and sad at the same time

[ChesapeakeBay321]

Tripp has put his finger on the pulse of hte nation. Funny but frightening. As they say, there's truth in jest. Well done Mr. Worthington!
