Somebody’s Cookin’ Them Books

The stock market’s up 100 percent
Somebody’s cookin’ them books.
Unemployment’s fallin’ in a big descent
Somebody’s cookin’ them books.
Our wealth is up 11 trillion bucks
Somebody’s cookin’ them books.
Grandpa’s wearin’ a brand new tux
Somebody’s cookin’ them books.
[Chorus]
Yippie-i-o-ki-yippie-i-a
Obama’s here to save the day.
Yippie-i-o-ki-yippie-i-a
He’s gonna cook them books away..
30 million new folks on the health care rolls
Somebody’s cookin’ them books.
Bin Laden’s deader'n ol' King Cole
Somebody’s cookin’ them books.
Waterboardin’s out, the Iraq war’s history
Somebody’s cookin’ them books.
Gaddafi’s gone an’ that’s no mystery
Somebody’s cookin’ them books.
[Chorus]
The cars are rollin’ from Detroit City
Somebody’s cookin’ them books.
The Tea Party’s cryin’ and that’s a pity
Somebody’s cookin’ them books.
Mitt Romney’s movin’ more cash offshore
Somebody’s cookin’ them books.
Obama’s dancin' on the ballroom floor
Somebody’s cookin’ them books.
[Chorus]
