Lyrics
Oh the price of gold is rising out of sight And the dollar is in sorry shape tonight What the dollar used to get us Now won't buy a head of lettuce No, the economic forecast isn't bright But amidst the clouds I spot a shining ray I can even glimpse a new and better way And I've devised a plan of action Worked it down to the last fraction And I'm going into action here today I am changing my name to Chrysler I am heading down to Washington D.C I will tell some power broker What they did for Iacocca Will be perfectly acceptable to me I am changing my name to Chrysler I am heading for that great receiving line So when they hand a million grand out I'll be standing with my hand out Yessir I'll get mine When my creditors are screaming for their dough I'll be proud to tell them all where they can go They won't have to scream and holler They'll be paid to the last dollar Where the endless streams of money seem to flow I'll be glad to tell them all what they can do It's a matter of a simple form or two It's not just renumeration It's a liberal education Ain't you kinda glad that I'm in debt to you? I am changing my name to Chrysler I am heading down to Washington D.C I will tell some power broker What they did for Iacocca Will be perfectly acceptable to me I am changing my name to Chrysler I am heading for that great receiving line So when they hand a million grand out I'll be standing with my hand out Yessir I'll get mine Since the first amphibeans crawled out of the slime We've been struggling in an unrelenting grind We were hardly up and walking Before money started talking And it's said that failure is an awful crime Well, it's been that way for a millenium or two But now it seems that there's a different point of view If you're a corporate titanic And your failure is gigantic Down in Congress there's a safety net for you So I am changing my name to Chrysler I am heading down to Washington D.C I will tell some power broker What they did for Iacocca Will be perfectly acceptable to me I am changing my name to Chrysler I am heading for that great receiving line So when they hand a million grand out I'll be standing with my hand out Yessir I'll get mine So when they hand a million grand out I'll be standing with my hand out Yessir I'll get mine
