Comes now from the twisted mind that brought you Gordo, another little ditty, this one about the pending airline bailout. Spiff, if you're out there, this one's for you.

"LEO" (to the tune of Duran Duran's "Rio")
------------------------------------------

Sitting on the stand now, man, you're a man of iron will
With a subtle smile, make the case for $5 more bill
With a plea to the left, an appeal to the right
It's all the same old stuff rehashed,
While your poor customers suffer
You've come back for some more cash ...

His name is Leo and he's come with outstretched hand
With Don and cronies, he in front of Congress stands
But, no, don't blame yourselves, it must be the demand
Oh, Leo, Leo, this taxpayer wants you canned ...

I've seen you in the news and I've seen you on TV
Two, of a billion bucks, that might have come from me
Like a birthday or a Christmas gift
But why should I pay it when you don't catch the drift?

His name is Leo and he's come with outstretched hand
With Don and cronies, he in front of Congress stands
"Oh, please protect us, our country suffers if you can't,"
Oh, Leo, Leo, our advice is go pound sand ...

(instrumental)

Hey now (woo), what a shock, bad management's run you down?
For JetBlue I'll strive, fly Southwest or drive,
We don't need you alive, alive, alive,
I'll take my chances, don't take me for a ride
I'll suffer, 'cause your ship is sinking,
Don't make me suffer, 'cause your ship is sinking ...

His name is Leo and he's come with outstretched hand
With Don and cronies, he in front of Congress stands
But, no, don't blame yourselves, it must be the demand
Oh, Leo, Leo, this taxpayer wants you canned ...

His name is Leo, he don't want to understand
You should pay the price, you bit the feeding hand,
Oh Leo, Leo, hear them shout across the land,
Take care of your own house or find someone who can ...

(instrumental to fade out)
