Fiscal Cliff

Of course I’ve heard of Curious George
And even Buffalo Bill
Hammerin’ Hank could pound that ball
He gave us such a thrill

Basketball had Sleepy Floyd
And also Tubby Smith
But who’s this fellow in the news
The one called “Fiscal Cliff”?

Fiscal Cliff—political lobotomy
Fiscal Cliff—he’s a threat to the economy
Fiscal Cliff—he slashes automatically
Fiscal Cliff—programs cut dramatically
Fiscal Cliff, Fiscal Cliff
Who’s afraid of Fiscal Cliff?

John Boehner is a nervous orange
The crash is getting near
Obama stops to grab a smoke
While others run in fear

A five-time all-star in his day
Was Crime Dog Fred McGriff
But now we’re heading to the 9th
And here comes Fiscal Cliff

Fiscal Cliff—political lobotomy
Fiscal Cliff—he’s a threat to the economy
Fiscal Cliff—he slashes automatically
Fiscal Cliff—programs cut dramatically
Fiscal Cliff, Fiscal Cliff
Who’s afraid of Fiscal Cliff?

A trillion has a dozen zeroes
Washington is out of heroes
Ebert’s partner? That was Siskel
Two thumbs down for Mr. Fiscal

Fiscal Cliff—political lobotomy
Fiscal Cliff—he’s a threat to the economy
Fiscal Cliff—he slashes automatically
Fiscal Cliff—programs cut dramatically
Fiscal Cliff, Fiscal Cliff
Who’s afraid of Fiscal Cliff?
Fiscal Cliff, Fiscal Cliff
We’re all scared to death of Fiscal Cliff
