"Send in the Clowns"

Isn't it rich? Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground and you in mid-air
Send in the clowns

Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around and one who can't move
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns

Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines Nobody's there

Don't you love a farce? My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want, sorry my dear
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here

Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Well, maybe next year

-Stephen Sondheim
(actually I like the version sung by Krusty better..)

Everybody Wants to Rule the World

Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody wants to rule the world.

It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world.

There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you.
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world.

I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never never never never need it
One headline why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world.

All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

LFO, Summer Girls,

Yeah... I like it when the girls stop by.. In the summer... Do you remember...
Remember when we met... that summer...

(Chorus)
New kids on the block; Had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
And I think it's fly when the girls stop by for the summer, for the summer.
i like girls that wear abercrombie and fitch
I'd take her if I had one wish
But she's been gone since that sumer... Since that summer

Hip Hop marmalade Spic and Span
Met you one summer and it all began
You're the best girl that I ever did see
The great Larry Bird Jersey 33
When you take a sip, you buzz like a hornet
Billy Shakespear wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
Call me Willy Whistle coz' I can't speak baby
Somethin' in your eyes went and drove me crazy

Now I can't forget you and it makes me mad
Left one day and never came back
Stayed all summer then went back home
Macauly Culkin was in Home Alone
Fell deep in love but now we ain't speaking
Michael J. Fox was Alex P. Keaton
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

(chorus)

Cheery Pez cold crush rock star boogie
Used to hate school so I had to play hookie
Always been hip to the BBoy Style
Known to act wild and make a girl smile
Love new edition and the Candy Girl
Reminds me of you becoz' you rock my world

You come from Georgia where the peaches grow
They drink lemonade and speak real slow
You love hip hop and rockn'roll
Your Dad took off when you were 4 years old
There was a good man named Paul Revere
I feel much better baby when you're near
You love fun dip and cherry coke
I like the way you laugh when I tell a joke
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

(chorus)

Summertime girls are the kind I like
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike

Bugaloo shrimp and pogo sticks
My mind takes me back there oh so quick
Let you off the hook like my man Mr. Lipit
Think about that summer and I bug coz' I miss it
Like the color purple macaroni and cheese
Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees
Call you up but what's the use
I like Kevin Bacon but I ahte Footloose
Camei n the door said it before
I think I'm over you but I'm really not sure
When I met you I said my name was Rich
you look likea girl from Abercrombie and fitch

(chorus)

In the summer girls come and summer girls go
Some are worthwhile and some are so so
In the summer girls come and summer girls go
Some are worthwhile and some are so so

Summer time girls got it going on
Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
Summertime girls are the kind I like
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike

(chorus)

Short People

Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason to live.

They got little hands,
Little eyes,
They walk around tellin' great big lies.

They got little noses,
Tiny little teeth,
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet.

Well I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people 'round here.

(Short people are just the same as you and I.)
A fool such as I.
(All men are brothers until the day they die.)
It's a wonderful world.

Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody to love

They got little baby legs
They stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello.

They got little cars
That go beep beep beep.
They got little voices
Goin' peep peep peep.

They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds.
They're gonna get you
Every time.

Well I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people 'round here.

Others in the list I forgot:
10. Analysts who keep reiterating buys and raising targets and insist that losing more and more money is the key to higher stock prices;
11. Market strategists who utter nothing but buy no matter what the stock prices are.
12. Politicians who are cowards enough to speak-up against blatant abuse of the system by Wall Street vested interest groups, corporate managements, administration and the Federal reserve board itself.
13. Wall Street bigwigs like Goldman Sachs who some how manage have every thing both ways.
14. Gazillion hedge funds which can not only screw themselves but whole economy.
15. The folks at central banks who stooped to the level of cheerleading the Bubonomics®!
16. All public who puts-up with clowns 1 through 15 with the fear of spoiling good times.
