• 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!
