Lời bài hát: Jimmy Buffett. Buffet Hotel. A Lot To Drink About.

(Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally, Will Kimbrough)

Hey, have you noticed that the world has changed
That the news is all bad
Well, I think it?s time for a song about that

Up on the east side of Manhattan
They?re still dancing with the stars
While over in sub-prime city
It?s getting ugly in the local bars
Watching the news only gives me the blues
There?s too much going wrong

It takes the likes of me to hit the reboot key
And write a high speed drinking song

Millionaires losing everything
Hey, welcome to the other side of life
There goes the yacht there goes the Rolls
But, you get to keep your wife

And don?t forget the automakers
Swimming upstream like a trout
They let the shit hit the fan
And then made a plan
We?ve got a lot to drink about

There?s the price of oil
The war of the spoils
Here?s your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We?ve got a lot to drink about

Now Madoff made off with all the money
And his clients are down to skunk weed
Repeat after me it?s so easy to see
We?re only talking simple greed

And those Somalian pirates are counting all their gold
While Bush and Cheney ain?t around
And all the good lookers seem to be Russian hookers
From Key West to London town

With the price of oil
War of the spoils
Here?s your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We?ve got a lot to drink about

So pour me some Tennessee whiskey
Pour me a fine Jamaican rum
That loud mouth soup
Can get ya kind of looped
Tequila, of course I want some!

Well the family devalues
And little children count their net worth
And the truth wherever it?s hiding
Can?t be found on Google Earth
Citibank?s buying jets with our money
I wanna flog ?em with a buggy whip
Let?s hope Barack and Joe won?t let the volcano blow
And patch the hole in our sinking ship

There?s the price of oil
The war of the spoils
Here?s your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We?ve got a lot to drink about

Recession, opression, depression good God
CNN keeps bummin? me out
I can?t take another doomsday minute
Got a lot to drink
A lot to think
A lot to drink about

God bless America
