Sixteen Trill, and What Do You Get?

I've been getting a lot of stuff from the readers in response to my asking for submissions here.

Last week over at IMAO Havey, via 4of7, linked a somewhat outdated parody of Tennessee Ernie Ford's song "Sixteen Tons".

Well, one of the intrepid readers of Nuking Politics came up with their own version of the lyrics, updated for accuracy:

 16 Trill
by Sharky

Some people say the gov'mint needs more & more -
Let's tax the rich to help the poor.
The Prez says the rich got all they need,
He won't be happy until they bleed.

You spend 16 trill, & what do ya get?
America's people are drownin' in debt.
Obama keeps a-cryin' the rich must pay
But all their money can't save the day.

The gov'mint just wants to spend and spend.
They think the party'll never end.
Economy's a-sinkin', there ain't no jobs,
But ev'ry Dem just robs & robs.

You spend 16 trill, & what do ya get?
America's people are drownin' in debt.
Obama keeps a-cryin' the rich must pay
But all their money can't save the day.

Us voters need to reign 'em in.
Out with the old, let's vote new in.
I get on my knees ev'ry night & pray
November 6th is Judgement Day.

You spend 16 trill, & what do ya get?
America's people are drownin' in debt.
Obama keeps a-cryin' the rich must pay
But all their money can't save the day.
Well done Sharky!

Now if we could only find someone to sing it Tennessee Ernie Ford style.
