Tomorrow Belongs To Me

This is just a bit of fun. It's a parody on the NAZI song in the film cabaret. My version
is about the present banking crisis!
Here is the original version

------------------------------------------------------------------



The ink on the money is barely warm
The bull down in Walls Street runs free
But gathered together to greet the storm 
Tomorrow belongs to me

The branch of the bank is shifty and keen
To take your tax dollars for free
But somewhere the story awaits unseen
Tomorrow belongs to me

The babe in his cradle is closing his eyes
Ignorant of what’s coming you see
But soon says the whisper, arise, arise
Tomorrow belongs to me

Now IMF, IMF, show us the joke
Your children have waited to see
The morning will come 
When the world is broke
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me

Now IMF, IMF, show us the joke
Your children have waited to see
The morning will come 
When the world is broke
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me

Wish someone would get that bull back in his corral, David. You are singing my song of woe here. Thanks for helping me to laugh at it. As they say, "Things are tough all over." I appreciate the humor very much. Love, Carolyn
