• Americanomics works, and I won't argue that is true.
  But if the economy is getting better, getting better for who?
  Well, if you ask me, I'm doing much worse than before,
  With the welfare cuts, I don't eat no more.
  So if I did wanna go out, I couldn't go nowhere,
  Cause I ate every last one of them reindeer.
  Rudolph first, I went down the list,
  I got so hungry, I just couldn't resist.
  I ate Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Dixon,
  Fried them up and then started to mix them.
  And before you knew it, they were all gone,
  I wonder what y'all gonna do about my reindeer song!
