Hello to everyone. As you know, we Oszkars often see what is in the news or in history and write it to lyric words. I try to write Christmas lyric words this year, but kept getting distracted by news from America about a terrifying man named "Fiscal Cliff." I wrote some lyric words that I sent to Mr. Michael Frazier. He did an absolute of wonderful job to make these to a song. Also, please to note that although it pains me much to say so, Miklos had a good idea for the lyric that gave me a better first line for the chorus than what I wrote in the original version. Please to enjoy!
**Note: we now have a nice video to accompany Fiscal Cliff. Click here.
Fiscal Cliff
Music and performance by Michael Frazier
Lyric words by Istvan Oszkar of Istvan and the Oszkars
Of course I’ve heard of Curious George
And even Buffalo Bill
Hammerin’ Hank could pound that ball
He gave us such a thrill
Basketball had Sleepy Floyd
And also Tubby Smith
But who’s this fellow in the news
The one called “Fiscal Cliff”?
Fiscal Cliff—political lobotomy
Fiscal Cliff—he’s a threat to the economy
Fiscal Cliff—he slashes automatically
Fiscal Cliff—programs cut dramatically
Fiscal Cliff, Fiscal Cliff
Who’s afraid of Fiscal Cliff?
John Boehner is a nervous orange
The crash is getting near
Obama stops to grab a smoke
While others run in fear
A five-time all-star in his day
Was Crime Dog Fred McGriff
But now we’re heading to the 9th
And here comes Fiscal Cliff
Fiscal Cliff—political lobotomy
Fiscal Cliff—he’s a threat to the economy
Fiscal Cliff—he slashes automatically
Fiscal Cliff—programs cut dramatically
Fiscal Cliff, Fiscal Cliff
Who’s afraid of Fiscal Cliff?
A trillion has a dozen zeroes
Washington is out of heroes
Ebert’s partner? That was Siskel
Two thumbs down for Mr. Fiscal
Fiscal Cliff—political lobotomy
Fiscal Cliff—he’s a threat to the economy
Fiscal Cliff—he slashes automatically
Fiscal Cliff—programs cut dramatically
Fiscal Cliff, Fiscal Cliff
Who’s afraid of Fiscal Cliff?
Fiscal Cliff, Fiscal Cliff
We’re all scared to death of Fiscal Cliff
