Wheels on the bus

Wheels on the bus - what a wonderful children's song! The lyrics are below:

My only issue with this song is that it is not up to date. It has to be modified to reflect the reality of today's economic environment. I gave it a try:

WHEELS ON THE (ECONOMIC) BUS (FALLING OFF??)

Dow Jones Index goes up and down,
Up and down, up and down.
Dow Jones Index goes up and down,
All through the town.

Corporate ax goes swish swish swish,
Swish swish swish, swish swish swish.
Corporate ax goes swish swish swish,
All through the town.

Foreclosure man goes ring ring ring,
Ring ring ring, ring ring,
Foreclosure man goes ring ring ring,
All through the town.

Companies go bankrupt left and right,
Left and right, left and right,
Consumers go bankrupt left and right,
All through the town.

Bailout money goes clink clink clink,
Clink clink clink, clink clink clink,
Tax payers' money goes clink clink clink,
All through the town.

Substitute these also:

National debt goes up and up....
Retirement accounts shrink day by day....
Madoff cheats investors left and right...
