If you want to evaluate the new Secretary of Con-us, consult with the workers at her Hyatt Hotels, or the schools she ran into the ground, or the folks she foreclosed on, or…
Poor Penny Pritzker is not so swank
She only owns one superior bank
She’s only got 1.5 billion thank you very much
Once she built a hotel, made it run
And a bank so sub-prime
Once she ran the schools and now they’re gone
Penny, can you spare a dime?
But Mr. President,
she’s an above average Cabinet resident
Off-shore trust in the Bahamas
Heir to Hyatt Hotels
High regard for housekeepers
Same as schools and neighborhoods
If the workers want a wage, she subcontracts out
Just like Hell-Mart
In Penny’s reign the banker shaves another customer
We see homeowners sitting waiting for a trim
Then the Pritzger people rush on in
Putting kids in pain…
Very strange
Subprime Penny, well what’s that worth?
Secretary of Commerce, what on earth?
Of qualified secretaries there seems to be a dearth
So a bank ruinator gets a cabinet berth
(Pennies from Heaven)
Folks in chains for bankers’ gains
Penny’s slum heaven
St. Peter said I’m deporting you Penny from heaven
She found her fortune foreclosin’ all over town
For sure that’s our economy upside down
I’d trade her for a package of corporate tax enforcement improvements
If you want the things you love, you must have labor movements
But what you hear’s not thunder, it’s simply plunder you see
There’ll be pennies left over of our economy
Say don’t you remember she cost the Feds
Half a billion that time
Based upon her record running a bank
Penny will take our last dime
