Artist picture
Songs to afflict those who make everyone else uncomfortable.
Dave Lippman travels the world taking the air out of the windbags of the week, de-distorting history, and rewriting the classics with parody and thrust. He also presents the world's only known singing CEO, the Bard of the Bankers, Wild Bill Bailout, who employs anti-folk songs and interventionary anthems to explain (and enforce) that the business of America is none of your business, that those too big to fail are also too big for jail, and that the jobless and foreclosed must bail out their own boats.

Lyrics
Put'En Ron the Ritz If your 401 is done You don't know where it's gone Why don't you go where Enron sits Puttin' on the ritz Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee And see them spend your last two bits Puttin' on the ritz Dubya sold his Harken stock for four dollar Price slid to one twenty five share- holders scream and holler SEC said that's a fake sale But they fail to nail the Govnor There it sits System's on the fritz Have you seen the well to do? Up and down Park Avenue? Dubya's in the White House now No accounting for just how Dubya demands high standards Dick and George of course were slandered Yes they may be slime, But it was a perfect crime! And if you will harken back to haliburton That's when Cheney's biz was hurtin So he sold his bits There was buyin, there was sellin There was stocks all go to hellin But the wise guys were puttin on the ritz Then they sold subsidiaries to them selves masking their losses, making more cash for their bosses Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee And see them spend your last two bits Puttin' on the ritz
