Love In The Time Of Recession

There was a time when we would laugh,
and throw around great piles of cash
but that's gone, it looks like that's gone, whoa ohhh

There was a time when caviar
was served inside our luxury car
but that's gone, I guess that's also gone whoa ohhh

It seems just days ago
Our lives were lived inside a bubble
Despite the gains in our bank occount
Our love remained subprime

Tucked away in our economy
lay a ticking bomb of fiscal folly
and soon we'd reap the dividends
of being funemployed!

I didn't get laid and I didn't get off
but they said to take my stuff and walk
I've got no job and I've got no pay
but I'm free to hold you every day

whoaaaa oh oh love in the time of recession
whoaaaa oh oh let's take a 7 month staycation
whoaaaa oh oh our savings have all disappeared
whoaaaa oh oh now kiss me through my recession beard

So now we have to ask ourselves
Do we miss the gold that filled our shelves?
Cuz it's gone, it looks like it's gone, whoa ohhh

Was it a crutch we were Lehman on
or was it just another con?
but it's gone, I guess it's also gone whoa ohh

You look so very cute
underneath your golden parachute
You debonnaire recessionista
I'll never leave your side

You stimulate my package growth
There's nothing better for us both
We've made it past the tipping point
and made the right downturn

I didn't get laid and I didn't get off
but they said to take my stuff and walk
I've got no job and I've got no pay
but I'm free to hold you every day

whoaaaa oh oh love in the time of recession
whoaaaa oh oh let's take a 7 month staycation
whoaaaa oh oh our savings have all disappeared
whoaaaa oh oh now kiss me through my recession beard

I love the way you act like a sexual creditor
You're my own personal cash bailout
With you while making love there's no recessionary period
Like a bear market you're always going down

SOLO

Hey ho let's go
Grab your partner now do-see-do
We're too big too fall, we're all set to brawl
We've too much cash to blow

Hey ho let's go
The economy is too quick to slow
We've seen it all we're standing tall
Just look out way below!

I didn't get laid and I didn't get off
but they said to take my stuff and walk
I've got no job and I've got no pay
but I'm free to hold you every day

whoaaaa oh oh love in the time of recession
whoaaaa oh oh let's take a 7 month staycation
whoaaaa oh oh our savings have all disappeared
whoaaaa oh oh now kiss me through my recession beard

whoaaaa oh oh it's not as bad as it might seem
whoaaaa oh oh we'll start a little ponzi scheme
whoaaaa oh oh I know not working's kinda weird
whoaaaa oh oh now kiss me through my recession beard
