On the Up-Side

Thought I should try a Woody Guthrie type of lyric on the recession - with a bit of humour. This is what came out. It's fixin to be a bouncy little two chord song (C & G) when it's finished.

On the Up-Side

Oh it's hard times
Credit crunching times
Money's buyin' less
And I sing this song
Cause my job's gone
And the country's in a mess.

   But on the up-side
   On the south-side
   There's a fireside
   Where she sits
   And i can be there
   In a half hour
   And we can
   Dance and kiss

Oh it's hard times
Hangin' banker times
Think I'll try and get a loan.
Sure a billion's nothin,
When the economy's rotten,
Hey, I can spend it on my own.

Oh it's hard times
Any - job - you - can times -
Boss is workin' in McDee's.
My gal's in a quandary,
Checkin' all our money,
Cos it's printed fake, you see

Oh it's hard times
Recession-chic times
but I ain't gonna cry
Buy my pants and tops
From the charity shops
And gonna love her till I die.
