The Krugman Blues

歌詞

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 News Hour 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!"
