    “Last night I saw the cabinet chair
    The little millionaires who were not there
    I didn’t vote for them anyway
    I wish, I wish they’d go away

    When I asked about the economy
    The millionaires stood around blaming me
    But when I looked around the hall
    I couldn’t see them there at all
    Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more
    Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door

    Last night I saw the cabinet chair
    The little millionaires who were not there
    They weren’t there again today
    Oh, how I wish they’d go away”
