A Lot to Drink About

C 	  	  	  	 C7
Up on the east side of Manhattan, 	  	  	      
Fm 	  	   	  	 C
They're still dancing with the stars
            Fm 	  	           C      	  	  	      
While over in "Sub-prime" city, 
                          h^B    G7
It's getting angry in the local bars
F 	  	  	 C 	  	  	            	        
Watching the news only gives me the blues, 
 	  	   h^F#   Am
There's too much going wrong
 	      Fm 	  	  	      C 	  	         
It takes the likes of me to hit the reboot key 
            G7 	  	         C
And write a high speed drinking song.

C 	  	  	  	 C7
Millionaires losing everything. 
Fm 	  	   	  	 C
Hey, welcome to the other side of life!
Fm 	  	       C     
There goes the yacht, there goes the Rolls, 
                     h^B    G7
But, you get to keep your wife!
F 	  	  	 C 	  	 
And don't forget the automakers 
 	  	      h^F#   Am
Swimming upstream like a trout.
 	      Fm 	  	  	         C 	  	 
They let the s**t hit the fan and then they made a plan, 
    G7 	  	           C
We've got a lot to drink about.

Chorus
F                      C                                                                       
It's the price of oil, the war of spoils. 
C 	  	  	  	        Am 
Where's your bucket for the big bailout?
F            C 	  	  	 
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, 
G7 	  	          C
We've got a lot to drink about.


C 	  	  	  	 C7
Now, "Madoff "made off with all the money. 
Fm 	  	   	  	 C
Now his clients are down to skunk weed.
Fm 	  	           C      	 
Repeat after me, it's so easy to see, 
                   h^B    G7
We're only talking simple greed.
F 	  	  	 C 	  	  	 
And those Somalian  pirates are counting all the gold. 
 	  	      h^F#   Am
While Bush & Cheney ain't around, 
     Fm 	  	  	          C 	  	    
And all the good lookers seem to be Czech hookers,
         G7 	  	           C
From Key west to London town.

Chorus
   Bb 	  	  	   F      
So pour me some Tennessee whiskey, 
Bb 	  	  	 F
Pour me a fine Jamaican rum
Bb 	  	  	        F 	  	  	  	    
That loud mouth soup gets me kind of looped, 
   D 	  	  	  	  G 
Tequila, of course I'll have some!

C 	  	      C7
Now the family devalues 
Fm 	  	   	  	 C
And little children count their net worth
            Fm 	  	           C      	 
And the truth wherever it's hiding 
                  h^B    G7
Can't be found on Google Earth.
F 	  	  	 C 	 
Citibank's buying jets with our money. 
 	  	         h^F#   Am
I wanna flog 'em with a buggy whip.
       Fm 	  	  	   C 	 
I hope Obama and Joe won't let the volcano blow
G7 	  	           C
And patch the hole in our sinking ship. 	  	 


Chorus  

F                         C                                                                       
Recession, depression, regression? Good-God! 
C 	  	  	 Am 
CNN keeps bumming me out.
F                    C 	  	 
I can't take another doomsday moment.
G7 	  	            G7 	  	 G7 	 C
We got a lot to drink, a lot to think, a lot to drink about.
