"It's A Wonderful Life"

Bedford Falls

Every Christmas season
TV shows “It’s A Wonderful Life”
Where Donna Reed plays
Jimmy Stewart’s loving wife

Jimmy play George Bailey
Of the Bailey Brother’s Savings & Loan
Where in the town of Bedford Falls
They help people purchase, a home of their own

It was the American Dream
For every family
To be a homeowner
In our land of the free

Lionel Barrymore
Played that evil Mr Potter
Who like today’s bankers
Led the lambs to the slaughter

He portrayed an evil character
Who is obessed with such greed
Like today’s bankers
Who own a poor man’s deed



But now Wall Street
Wants to spread, their Christmas Cheer
With all those big bonuses

To all their employees this year


The money that they spend
After we bailed them out
Could stop all the foreclosures
For four years or there about

Wall Street has taken our money
From the taxpayers of our nation
And spent about 100 million
To fight any kind of regulation

They have devalued our dollar
And risen the price of gold
While pushing American families
Right out, in to the cold

So bring back George Bailey
And that Savings & Loan
With the things, that we value
Like a home of our own
