In a big disaster we felt a little ill

when the Deep Water Horizon went kaboom and caused a spill.

We got a little gusher and we got a big oil slick

and the water got quite nasty off the coast of Mississip.

Well we lowered our cap and the oil kept on comin,

another failed attempt just like the one a while ago.

We tried top kill and the oil kept on runnin,

muckin' up the waters in the Gulf of Mexico.

Oh we looked at the shoreline as it loaded up with scum.

We started running boom lines, didn't care where they came from.

We stepped so high as we waded through the sludge

then President Obama started talkin like a judge.

Well we lowered our cap and the oil kept on comin,

another failed attempt just like the one a while ago.

We tried top kill and the oil kept on runnin,

f***in up the waters in the Gulf of Mexico.

Old Tony Hayward said we'll update our website,

I'll apologize on camera and I'll say we'll make it right.

We can't risk losing revenue or closing down the well,

have to pay off lot's of people or we're gonna catch... well,

We lowered our top hat and it was a major fail.

Lowered our heads and we put on quite a show.

Hemmed and hawed and hired lot's of guys with bags and pails,

Walkin on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico

We drilled relief wells till the drill bits melted down,

so we grabbed some politicians and we told them not to drown,

told them there was money at the bottom of the pit,

all they had to do was swallow, and we told them not to spit.

Well we lowered our standards and the oil kept on comin.

Should have done it right but now we got a ways to go

For twenty years or more the public's gonna keep us runnin

Cleaning up the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
