The Krugman Blues |
THE KRUGMAN BLUES by Loudon Wainwright III |
I read the NY Times it s where I get my news |
Paul Krugman s on the op-ed page that s where I get the blues |
Cause Paul always tells it like it is we get it blow by blow |
Krugman s got the Nobel prize so Krugman ought to know |
When Paul goes on The NewsHour to talk to old Jim Lehrer |
He looks so sad and crestfallen it s more than I can bear |
And all the other experts all seem way off base |
And I guess that I identify with that pissed off look on Paul s face |
When Paul gets really bummed out that s when I get scared |
But if Paul says there s a glint of hope I feel we ve all been spared |
Sometimes when he s on the TV in the background you can spot his school logo |
Krugman teaches at Princeton U so Krugman ought to know |
He s got that hang dog look about him Paul s one unhappy pup |
Krugman looks so downtrodden I wish he d lighten up |
And I know he wants to clue us in about all our impending doom |
But I got The Krugman Blues from all Paul s gloom |
Once I saw Krugman on a train Amtrackin to DC |
I recognized his sad face cause I seen it on the TV |
He looked up from his laptop when I said Hello Paul |
Then I said Keep up all the good work, Paul |
You bring me down but way to go, Paul! |
