Lyrics of the Ballad of Bernie Madoff
- Well, my name's Bernie Madoff,
- Yes you've seen me on teevee
- I pulled off the biggest
- Ponzi Scheme in history
- While the SEC was napping
- I stole 50 billion clams,
- Ripped off people in America
- And every foreign land
- Scammed actors, bakers, *Writers, lawyers, universities
- Synagogues and churches, *Venture funds and charities
- Talk show hosts, baseball stars
- Miss America too!
- Better check your 401 K
- Cause I might have ripped of you!YouTube: Ballad of Bernie Madoff (Time: .30)
Lyrics of P.R.I.N.T. Money
Flinch also made a video of a second FreeCreditReport.com video, called "P.R.I.N.T. Money", which features Ben Bernanke, Henry Paulson and Timothy Geithner riding in a beaten up blue car.
- Well I'm trying to fix the broken economy
- With a little help from Hank and Timothy
- Underestimated the housing slump
- Now we're looking at an $800 million dollar tuneup
- P.R.I.N.T. Money
- Lower interest rates to a negative three
- Tried bailing out banks, only to find
- They blew it on pay bumps and interior design
- Now instead of looking like a bunch of champs
- We can't get within 15 feet of a tramp stamp
- P.R.I.N.T. Money
- That's how I'm gonna fix the economy!
