The Lyrics

From the 'lessons not yet learned' dept. The Federal Government is engaged in a broad push to make more home loans available to people with weaker credit, an effort that officials say will help power the economic recovery but that skeptics say could open the door to the risky lending that caused the housing crash in the first place.

I soon will be under the sea
In a subprime mortgage home loan, FHA
My credit’s shot, I owe a lot
Still the lender says we’ll see what we can do

I’ll ask my friends to come and see
The brand new house he’s getting for me
I soon will be under the sea
In a subprime mortgage home loan, FHA

I would be warm, ignore the storm
My impending economic rack and ruin
Gun to their head, held by the fed
Giving loans to folks we both know can’t repay

I would sing and dance around
Knowing that I can’t be turned down
I soon will be under the sea
In a subprime mortgage home loan, FHA

I’d be fine, but in due time
The interest would crush me like a wave
(Crush me like a tidal wave)
Gee it’s swell, that pleasant new home smell
Now it’s become the stench of debt
(Oh that stench of debt)

I was once as happy as can be
No one there to tell me “Stop, you fool!”
I soon will be under the sea
In a subprime mortgage home loan, FHA
In a subprime mortgage home loan, FHA
In a subprime mortgage home loan, FHA

Effective song match. Don't know much about the topic but you made it accessible and fun again. Watch out for those lending tentacles and remember octopuses are expert illusionists.
