Seventy-Six Savings and Loans
 
 Seventy-six savings and loans led the big charade
 With a hundred and ten bad debts each in hand
 They were followed by rows and rows of wall-street luminosos;
 the cream, the richest in the land.
 
 Seventy-six savings and loans had a banking run
 With a hundred and ten bad debts each assigned
 There were more than a thousand needs springing up like weeds,
 There was scorn of every shape and kind
 
 There were Guan-ta-na-mo de-tain-ee in pan-ta-loons
 Thundering, thundering, hear them from the Bay
 Constant pandemoniums and big buffoons
 Each buffoon having his big fat say
 
 There was Patrick J. Buchanan giving flattery
 Thundering, thundering, louder than before
 Public debts of larger size and questioners from F-B-I's
 Who can't find all they're looking for
 
 Seventy-six savings and loans hit the breaking point 
 Each with a hundred and ten bad debts in their care 
 To the rhythm of 'Spend spend spend!'
 As the world began to end
 And they're spending still, right today
