Mambo #08

As I was pondering this year’s events I recalled Eliot Spitzer’s nickname, Client #9. This brought forth to mind the 90s song Mambo #5 by Lou Bega. It was trapped in my head for the rest of the day and this is what came of it. As you read, hum along:

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Mambo Number 5
One, two, three, four, five
Obama’s in the House and c’mon
Let's hide the check book in the drawer because
The boys say they want ‘a bail out’
But we really don't wannapay for their private planes
I must stay deep
Because their talk is cheap
We resent Fannie and Freddie and Ford and GM
And as I continue you know
They are getting in deeper
So what can they do they really beg and you complain
To them money it's like sport, while we get to pay
It's all good let them dump it
Please set in the trumpet
Chorus:
A little bit of Spitzer in her bed
A little bit of metals Phelps led
A little bit of Clay says he gay
A little bit of Prop 8 Cali say no way
A little bit of weather in the south
A little bit of Hilary back in the House
A little bit of Edwards has an affair
A little bit of Brittany grows back her hair

Thanks for indulging me. I hope no one was offended. ☺ Merry Christmas!
