The Lyrics
Resubmission.
I never liked Mr. Ben Bernanke
And all his "wisdom" on banky, banky
Often times seemed cranky, cranky
If a doc would be quacky, quacky
Europe, Asia, the markets not tanking
I never liked Mr. Ben Bernanke
And all his "wisdom" on banky, banky
Often times seemed cranky, cranky
Reserve masturbation, wanky, wanky
Stat manipulation handy, handy
Often times he crossed the line (bad)
US economy did just fine
His predictions were overblown
His advice not struck in stone
The Almighty Dollar, the Almighty Dollar!
I never liked Mr. Ben Bernanke
And all his "wisdom" on banky, banky
Often times seemed cranky, cranky
Reserve masturbation, wanky, wanky
Stat manipulation handy, handy
I doubt his clout
All show...
Oh, yeah!
Often times he crossed the line (bad)
US economy did just fine
His predictions were overblown
His advice not struck in stone
The Almighty Dollar, the Almighty Dollar!
Brookings Institution, so what?
I never liked Mr. Ben Bernanke
And all his "wisdom" on banky, banky
Often times seemed cranky, cranky
Reserve masturbation, wanky, wanky
Stat manipulation handy, handy
Alarmist at times, was fine, so, so...
Ben Bernanke watched what was trending
All the capital we were spending
Other than that, he was just guessing!
And all his "wisdom" on banky, banky
Often times seemed cranky, cranky
If a doc would be quacky, quacky
Europe, Asia, the markets not tanking
I never liked Mr. Ben Bernanke
And all his "wisdom" on banky, banky
Often times seemed cranky, cranky
Reserve masturbation, wanky, wanky
Stat manipulation handy, handy
Often times he crossed the line (bad)
US economy did just fine
His predictions were overblown
His advice not struck in stone
The Almighty Dollar, the Almighty Dollar!
I never liked Mr. Ben Bernanke
And all his "wisdom" on banky, banky
Often times seemed cranky, cranky
Reserve masturbation, wanky, wanky
Stat manipulation handy, handy
I doubt his clout
All show...
Oh, yeah!
Often times he crossed the line (bad)
US economy did just fine
His predictions were overblown
His advice not struck in stone
The Almighty Dollar, the Almighty Dollar!
Brookings Institution, so what?
I never liked Mr. Ben Bernanke
And all his "wisdom" on banky, banky
Often times seemed cranky, cranky
Reserve masturbation, wanky, wanky

Ben Bernanke watched what was trending
All the capital we were spending
Other than that, he was just guessing!

I wondered what happened with this one yesterday. Everytime I tried to read it, I just got a 404 page instead! 455
Jon, I spelled his name wrong 5 times and with the title plus misspelled Brookings Institute! I resubmitted.
^ can relate, have requested a parody of mine pulled due to grammatical errors before!
Jon, what are you working on next?
Informational and interesting
Thanks John. Didn't know what to expect if people didn't know this guy or read his books.
^^^ Thanks for asking, Rob! what I have in mind, is a parody which you requested a while back. Keep an eye out for it this Friday! (Black Friday... ugh...)
