Gordon - Money's Too Tight to Mention

There's a delicious irony in parodying Simply Red's 80's classic about right-wing economic decisions....

I've sold off all the gold,
Raised taxes too,
Recession warnings,
Are coming true,
So I bought all the banks,
To see what they could do,
They said Gord - looks like boom'n'bust,
Got-a hold on you!

Chorus:
Money's too tight to mention,
We can barely afford Goodwin's pension,
Money's too tight to mention.

I went to the EU,
To see what they could do,
They said Gordon we won't help you,
Coz we're not fucked like you,
So I called on Obama, Obama,
Oh, Obama!
He said,

Chorus:
Money's too tight to mention,
Oh money money money money,
Mo-ney's too tight to mention,
Our own debt is well past ten trillion.

We've using Mugabenomics,
Oh lord, the economy's bollixed,
With stimuli for all the ills!
And the taxpayer footing the bills (we're paying),

Chorus:
Money's too tight to mention
(spoken) quantitive ease!
Oh, Money money money money,

We're talkin' 'bout money money
We're talkin' 'bout money money

Our money's gone, the country's screwed,
By a one-eyed man and his cretinous crew,
Now what are we all to do
When Gordon hasn't got a clue?

Mo-ney's too tight to mention
Oh, Money money money money,
Money's too tight to mention
There's no more money, oh yeah

We're talkin' 'bout money money
We're talkin' 'bout money money
Whatcha gonna do next Gordon?
Whatcha gonna do next Gordon?
We're talkin' 'bout money money
We're talkin' 'bout money money
Think the IMF'll bail ya?
Think the IMF'll bail ya?
Yeah, I'm talking 'bout it
We're talkin' 'bout money money
We're talkin' 'bout money money. . . .
(repeat until your economy fades)
