[1912 - Jim Thorpe wins decathlon at
Olympic games in Stockholm, Sweden]
Is this the House That Jack Built?
This is the house that Karl filled.
That lay in the house that Karl filled.
This is the special interest,
That ate the surplus
That lay in the house that Karl filled.
This is the fat cat,
That chased the special interest,
That ate the surplus
That lay in the house that Karl filled.
This is the SEC watchdog,
That worried the fat cat,
That chased the special interest,
That ate the surplus
That lay in the house that Karl filled.
This is the Congress by the lobbyist taken,
That tossed the SEC watchdog,
That worried the fat cat,
That chased the special interest,
That ate the surplus
That lay in the house that Karl filled.
These are the politicians (integrity forsaken),
That milked the Congress by the lobbyists taken,
That tossed the SEC watchdog,
That worried the fat cat,
That chased the special interest,
That ate the surplus
That lay in the house that Karl filled.
This is the taxpayer battered and shaken,
That elected the politicians (integrity forsaken),
That milked the Congress by the lobbyists taken,
That tossed the SEC watchdog,
That worried the fat cat,
That chased the special interest,
That ate the surplus
That lay in the house that Karl filled.
This is the priest all shaven and shorn,
That married the taxpayer battered and shaken,
That elected the politicians (integrity forsaken),
That milked the Congress by the lobbyist taken,
That tossed the SEC watchdog,
That worried the fat cat,
That chased the special interest,
That ate the surplus
That lay in the house that Karl filled.
This is the President who again was born,
That funded the priest all shaven and shorn,
That married the taxpayer battered and shaken,
That elected the politicians (integrity forsaken),
That milked the Congress by the lobbyist taken,
That tossed the SEC watchdog,
That worried the fat cat,
That chased the special interest,
That ate the surplus
That lay in the house that Karl filled.
This is enough of that!
