I Changed My Name to Gulfstream

If I changed my name to Gulfstream
Would my congressman hear me?
I stopped by his office,
But he won’t see you for free.
Then I tried to dial him on the phone
But, he wouldn’t take my call.
So I changed my name to Gulfstream and fooled ‘em all.

My name is Gulfstream Boeing Carlyle,
Have you met my sons?
My eldest, here, is Exxon-Mobile
And him we just call Guns
My youngest standing over there is
Morgan-Stanly Blackstone Chase and
little Lockheed Northrop Grumman's
bought his first congressman at eight.
My girls Sallie and Fannie Mae--well
---they can bend your ear
But since I changed my name to Gulfstream
Can’t keep Congress out of here.
Since I changed my name to Gulfstream
Can’t keep Congress out of here.

Politicians at my beck and call
they vote just how I say.
I tell them pass that bill tomorrow,
and they say "How about today?"
I go to all their fancy parties,
man I've had myself a ball
Since I changed my name to Gulfstream I fooled 'em all.
