RE: 2009
In 2009 the banks were failin`
We dealt with the swine flu and Sarah Palin
You sold your house for only a tuppence
Bernie Madoff got his comeuppance
Aliens were out; Vampires were in
Pirates weren’t charming like Errol Flynn
Instead of a gathering, intellectual and arty
We were having a `Burn your junk bond party`
The country cried
When Farah, Michael Jackson and Kennedy died
We were told our credit was about to end
The government told us to go out and spend
We watched the boy floating in a balloon
He was later found hiding out in his room
We discovered water on the moon
Trump will build a resort there soon
Obama pushed his health care plan
Rioters protested on the streets of Iran
For those who invested in Dubai
Turns out they were castles in the sky
Wonders of wonders, to be seen
It seems that China is turning green
Gold went up and the dollar went down
Tiger Woods became a clown
You need some surgery and medical care
Take a trip to Malaysia, it’s cheaper there
