I know, I was doing the whole Shutdown Countdown thing, but I got furloughed.\u00a0 Luckily, I’ve declared myself essential personnel, and I’ve brought you, yes, no, that’s right – another song.\u00a0 You know the tune.\u00a0 And now look – I sang the last one<\/a>.\u00a0 You know<\/strong> you don’t want me to do that again, so I’m asking you to sing this one for us.\u00a0 Post it to YouTube and let me know, and I’ll update this with a link to your version!\u00a0 You know you want to!\u00a0 Come now, sing, and fiddle with me while the Titantic goes down, and Rome burns, and we can mix drinks and metaphors until the sun comes up on the smoking remains of our economy!\u00a0 After all, there’s just a few more hours….
\nThere’s just a few more hours.
\nThat’s all the time we’ve got. A few more hours
\nBefore we go ker-splot.<\/p>\n

There are budget deals all over Washington,
\nand Congress has to track ’em down in just a few more hours!<\/p>\n

We’re gonna default in the morning! Crash bang!
\nThe banks are gonna fail. Pull out the stopper!
\nLet’s have a whopper!\u00a0 ‘Cause they’ve left us in the lurch this time!<\/p>\n

I don’t wanna wake up in the mornin’
\nI sure don’t wanna watch the news prime time.
\nEurope, come and kiss us;
\nShow how you’ll miss us.
\n‘Cause they’ve left us in the lurch this time!<\/p>\n

They’ll take a vote, Roll Call the Floor.
\nAnd it will fail, and roll right out the door!<\/p>\n

For We’re gonna default in the mornin’
\nCrash bang! the banks are gonna fail.
\nKick out this Congress, Show them the egress;
\nthey’ve left us in the lurch, left us in the lurch,
\n‘Cause they’ve left us in the lurch this time!<\/p>\n

We’re gonna default in the morning
\nCrash bang! the banks are gonna fail.<\/p>\n

Jail ’em or stone ’em – vote out and disown them!
\nThey’ve left us in the lurch this time!
\nI’m gonna sleep in, in the morning!
\nWhat’s the point of lookin’ at the time.<\/p>\n

The Senate ain’t able, to pass a pay bill,
\nAnd they’ve left us in the lurch this time!<\/p>\n

Because we’re debtors, they’ll grade us down.
\nAnd if we default,\u00a0
\nChina takes the crown!<\/p>\n

For We’re gonna default in the morning!
\nCrash bang! the banks are gonna fail.<\/p>\n

Feather and tar ’em;
\nBrand and disbar ’em! They’ve left us in the lurch,
\nLeft us in the lurch…
\n‘Cause they’ve left us in the lurch this time!<\/p>\n

Starlight is reelin – time to vote now.
\nMidnight is ticking like a bomb.
\nThe markets are waking…
\nDC is shaking…\u00a0 Good luck, you fools,
\nPerhaps you can pass it with aplomb.<\/p>\n

No – we’re gonna default in the mornin’
\nCrash bang! the banks are gonna fail…
\nOne-finger salute ’em – Then haul off and boot ’em…
\nthey’ve left us in the lurch, left us in the lurch,
\n‘Cause they’ve left us in the lurch this time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
