Hyperstagdeflationaryexponentialdoses (Musical Tribute)

It's a sing along!



It's hyperstagdeflationaryexponentialdoses!
Even though the trend of it is something quite atrocious!
If you hoard enough new @#$% you'll always feel precocious!
Hyperstagdeflationaryexponentialdoses!

Ben Bernanke's fiddlin' while we cry
Ben Bernanke's fiddlin' while we cry
Ben Bernanke's fiddlin' while we cry
Ben Bernanke's fiddlin' while we cry

Because I was afraid to spend when I was just a lad
Our leaders gave me lower rates and told me I was bad
But then one day I learned a word that drained portfolios
The biggest word we've ever heard and this is how it goes

Oh hyperstagdeflationaryexponentialdoses!
Even though the trend of it is something quite atrocious!
If you hoard enough new @#$% you'll always feel precocious!
Hyperstagdeflationaryexponentialdoses!

Ben Bernanke's fiddlin' while we cry
Ben Bernanke's fiddlin' while we cry
Ben Bernanke's fiddlin' while we cry
Ben Bernanke's fiddlin' while we cry

He lowered rates around the world on everything that's lent
He abused this word and all would say, "There goes our copper cent."
When Bush and Cheney ask him if he can still believe
He says his special word and they buy him lunch for free!

Hyperstagdeflationaryexponentialdoses!
Even though the trend of it is something quite atrocious!
If you hoard enough new @#$% you'll always feel precocious!
Hyperstagdeflationaryexponentialdoses!

Ben Bernanke's fiddlin' while we cry
Ben Bernanke's fiddlin' while we cry
Ben Bernanke's fiddlin' while we cry
Ben Bernanke's fiddlin' while we cry

So when the dead cat bounces high there's no need for dismay
Just summon up this word and your boss will up your pay!
But better use it carefully because it will change our lives
One night I said it just for thrills and now I'm feelin' strife!

Hyperstagdeflationaryexponentialdoses!
Hyperstagdeflationaryexponentialdoses!
Hyperstagdeflationaryexponentialdoses!
Hyperstagdeflationaryexponentialdoses!

Very nice. But in the film, the bank didn't go bust.

dearieme,

Perhaps the bank knew how to print money?

Mary Poppins was a 1964 film. 1964 also marks the last time our quarters contained 90% silver.
