Walls Are Coming Down
By Paul Mc Cann
Wall Street brokers are worried ,
and they're trying to make a plan .
So they're spreading thin the butter
with lots of strawberry jam .
But they haven't even got the bread ,
in these hard times today .
London Bridge is falling down,
so they've propped up the USA .
