Dominique, nique, nique.
How to speak of Dominique.
Oh, what is there to say?
If you went brute toward la femme?
Your repute crème de la crème.
Will be more like crème brulée.
 
You led the Monetary Fund
with savvy savoir-faire.
I'm sure, oh, braced the euro
when you grabbed its derrière.
Now you were great when in '08
the sky was falling down.
How it must torque to find New York
is not your kind of town.
 
Dominique, nique, nique.
The politique of Dominique.
In the suites of the elites.
Taking Germany to dance.
While making love to France.
Without forsaking Wall Street's sheets.
 
Oh, Greece is flailing madly
as austerity goes clunk.
Ireland's bailing badly
from prosperity to junk.
The mix of tricks among the BRICS
have Western cliques en garde.
What if in all the chaos
our petard is jarred too hard?
 
Dominique, nique, nique.
It is bleak, Dominique.
We're reeling how you left.
I do not seek a saint.
But if I have one complaint:
It is feeling IMF'd.
 
If this has been a set-up,
it can't be such a jolt.
You get to jetting debt up,
somebody will revolt.
You show more regulation,
each foe will crow "faux pas."
You slow globalization,
and, lo, the coup de grÂce.
 
Yes, power is a blood sport,
do you still love it most?
Can you tower over the mud, sport?
Or have you overdosed?
Like the Eurozone's tried holding on.
Like the world has tried to coast.
You're on a ride that will decide
if you are classified:
French toast.
 
Dominique, nique, nique.
What a streak, Dominique.
And I'd think one thing is true:
At your ever clever best.
You never would have guessed.
That the Black Swan could be you.
The Black Swan could be you.
