22. Mitt "Rob Me" is SO Bain!

I'm new to DU--but glad to be here and glad to see the Obama campaign in fighting mode! Bain will be Mitt Rob Me's downfall!
I penned this little ditty in honor of my first post--it practically wrote itself--and a big Thank You to Carly Simon--

YOU'RE SO BAIN
You walked into the Good Old Party like you were walking onto a yacht,
Your taxes strategically hid below our eyes,
Your candidacy was BOUGHT.
You had one eye on the White House, as you watched our jobs go "BYE"
And Wall Street dreams that they'll be your partner, they'll be your partner--

AND-YOU"RE SO BAIN, you 'probly' think this song is about you.
YOU"RE SO BAIN, you 'probly' think this song is about you, don't you? Don't you? Don't you?

Well, you shucked a lot of workers several years ago, when we were still quite naive,
Then you said "You're bankrupt, your company's done, and that we had better leave.
Then you took away the jobs we loved and shipped them overseas
We had some dreams--now they're clouds in our coffee, and more money in your coffer--
AND--
YOU"RE SO BAIN, you 'probly' think this song is about you.
YOU"RE SO BAIN, I'll bet you think this song is about you, don't you? Don't you? Don't you?

Well we hear you went to Ann's "Dressage" events and your horse naturally won,
Then you flew your Lear jet out to California to build a bigger beach house for your sons.

Well, you're where you should be all the time,
And when you're not, you're with --
Some Swiss financier, or your stash in the Caymans, stash in the Caymans --

AND--- YOU"RE SO BAIN, you 'probly' think this song is about you
YOU"RE SO BAIN, I'll bet you think this song is about you, don't you? Don't you? Don't you?
