Let’s blow some money papa
700 Mil and climbing
It’s a billion here, a billion there
who gives a damn if people care
we’re not elected and that’s not fair
700 mil and climbing
Let’s blow some money papa
1.7 billion and climbing
The council’s broke, Walz is woke
We’ll spend enough money
To make the DFL Choke
In the end who’s going to care
1.7 bill and climbing
Almost writes itself…..That’s after just one cup of coffee

I haven’t recorded anything in a while. Might have to give this a shothave to give us a shot.
Given the damage popping up in that condo unit/converted grain silo, might have to come up with some lyrics adapted from “Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”.

Lets blow some money papa
2.7 bill and climbing
Well the ground is sinking beneath my feet
Some where here just north of Lake Street
The Kennelworth trail aint gonna float
We’re better off puttin rails on boats
2.7 bill and climbing

Re the Eddie Fitz:
The residents all say, they’d have made Tonka Bay
If they’d put Minneapolis behind them.

Lets blow some money mama
3.7 and climbing
How much money papa
She said it’s 3.7 and climbing
well we traded our B’mer’s in for boats
Cuz Kenwood Dear is lookin’ like a moat
Metro Taxpayers have got no hope
3.7 and rising.
