Loudon Wainwright III - The Krugman Blues lyrics

Your rating:

I read the NY Times it's where I get my news

Paul Krugman's on the op-ed page that's where I get the blues

Cause Paul always tells it like it is we get it blow by blow

Krugman's got the Nobel prize so Krugman ought to know



When Paul goes on The NewsHour to talk to old Jim Lehrer

He looks so sad and crestfallen it's more than I can bear

And all the other experts all seem way off base

And I guess that I identify with that pissed off look on Paul's face

When Paul gets really bummed out that's when I get scared

But if Paul says there's a glint of hope I feel we've all been spared

Sometimes when he's on the TV in the background you can spot his school logo

Krugman teaches at Princeton U so Krugman ought to know



He's got that hang dog look about him Paul's one unhappy pup

Krugman looks so downtrodden I wish he'd lighten up

And I know he wants to clue us in about all our impending doom

But I got The Krugman Blues from all Paul's gloom



Once I saw Krugman on a train Amtrackin' to DC

I recognized his sad face cause I seen it on the TV

He looked up from his laptop when I said "Hello Paul
