Arlo Guthrie - I'm Changing My Name To Chrysler

Arlo Guthrie

I'm Changing My Name To Chrysler

by Tom Paxton

Oh the price of gold is rising out of sight
And the dollar is in sorry shape tonight
What the dollar used to get us now won't buy a head of lettuce
No the economic forecast isn't right
But amidst the clouds I spot a shining ray
I can even glimpse a new and better way
And I've devised a plan of action worked it down to the last fraction
And I'm going into action here today

CHORUS:
I am changing my name to Chrysler
I am going down to Washington D.C.
I will tell some power broker
What they did for Iacocca
Will be perfectly acceptable to me
I am changing my name to Chrysler
I am headed for that great receiving line
So when they hand a million grand out
I'll be standing with my hand out
Yes sire I'll get mine

When my creditors are screaming for their dough
I'll be proud to tell them all where they can all go
They won't have to scream and holler
They'll be paid to the last dollar
Where the endless streams of money seem to flow
I'll be glad to tell them what they can do
It's a matter of a simple form or two
It's not just renumeration it's a liberal education
Ain't you kind of glad that I'm in debt to you

CHORUS

Since the first amphibians crawled out of the slime
We've been struggling in an unrelenting climb
We were hardly up and walking before money started talking
And it's sad that failure is an awful crime
Well it's been that way for a millenium or two
But now it seems that there's a different point of view
If you're a corporate titanic and your failure is gigantic
Down to congress there's a safety net for you

CHORUS

Mirror lyrics:

CHORUS

Down to congress there's a safety net for you
If you're a corporate titanic and your failure is gigantic
But now it seems that there's a different point of view
Well it's been that way for a millenium or two
And it's sad that failure is an awful crime
We were hardly up and walking before money started talking
We've been struggling in an unrelenting climb
Since the first amphibians crawled out of the slime

CHORUS

Ain't you kind of glad that I'm in debt to you
It's not just renumeration it's a liberal education
It's a matter of a simple form or two
I'll be glad to tell them what they can do
Where the endless streams of money seem to flow
They'll be paid to the last dollar
They won't have to scream and holler
I'll be proud to tell them all where they can all go
When my creditors are screaming for their dough

Yes sire I'll get mine
I'll be standing with my hand out
So when they hand a million grand out
I am headed for that great receiving line
I am changing my name to Chrysler
Will be perfectly acceptable to me
What they did for Iacocca
I will tell some power broker
I am going down to Washington D.C.
I am changing my name to Chrysler
CHORUS:

And I'm going into action here today
And I've devised a plan of action worked it down to the last fraction
I can even glimpse a new and better way
But amidst the clouds I spot a shining ray
No the economic forecast isn't right
What the dollar used to get us now won't buy a head of lettuce
And the dollar is in sorry shape tonight
Oh the price of gold is rising out of sight
