Lady Delilah Dow
Action, action! What a commotion!
“What is the latest trend?
Is there going to be an end?”
Lady Dow is trying to deliver
Leaders running to assist her

Oh, it’s a Global Countdown
Yeah, it’s a Global Meltdown

Come on Doctor Bush, make her to push
“We need some stimulus
Package in some dollars”

Dow
Another-sick night
This love is all bad
If only it were mine
If only I were glad

How many times I had meetings
How many times I had love
If only they were certain
If only they were love

Whenever one was present
