In a recent interview with Yahoo! Finance Joe Biden’s U.S. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, formerly the Mayor of Boston, said:
“Aside from inflation, we have a really strong economy.”
Which reminded me of that classic Abraham Lincoln joke:
“Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?”
On the same day Marty Walsh told MSNBC:
“I think for the short term inflation we’re here to see it stay.”
Which got me to thinking…let’s all sing a song about Inflation!
“Inflation’s Here to Stay”
(with apologies to George & Ira Gershwin, and “Love is Here to Stay”)
(Verse) The more I learn of Liberals The more I comprehend Their world and all their capers And how it all will end Nothing seems to be lasting That’s clearly plain to see But we’ve got something permanent In this new economy |
|
(Chorus) It’s very clear Inflation’s here to stay Not for a year But every single day The internet and the cellphone And the freedoms that we know May just be passing fancies And in time may go! |
|
But, oh it’s clear Inflation’s here to stay Together we’re All going broke today This time the dollar will tumble The markets will crumble And all our wealth decay ‘Cuz inflation’s here to stay |
FYI: “Love Is Here to Stay” was the last musical piece George Gershwin completed before his death on July 11, 1937 at the age of 38. George’s brother Ira Gershwin wrote the lyrics after George’s death as a tribute to his brother’s passing.
Added bonus: Hear the original version in two classic styles!
Frank Sinatra – 1956 | Billie Holliday – 1957 |
