To "KISS FROM A ROSE"
(WORDS AND MUSIC BY SEAL)

Parody Lyrics by Marcy Shaffer

*please NOTE: BK = bankruptcy*

Qualified.
Now denied.
In the slide.
Countrywide.

There is a mondo condo tower
one lane from the sea.
My domain.
the lender was quick to agree.
Now it's plain.
my unit could ruin it for me.

'Cause who'd suppose.
The way it goes.
The payments I sweat
will re-set
'til I get to BK?

I say.
I am praying for assist from
that rose, Fannie Mae.
'Cause the gist is she has twisted open.
so I'm hopin', hey.
They won't foreclose if my fray.
Just flows to that rose, Fannie Mae.

How is it fair that I compare
Fannie Mae to a rose?
Well, I chose the rose
'cause as everyone knows:
Fannie
Is smelling sweet in swelling heat
these Excel-sheeted days.
Those bouquets are newly Fannie Mae's.

'Cause who'd suppose.
The way it goes.
The payments I sweat
will re-set
'til I get to BK?

I say.
I am praying for assist from
that rose, Fannie Mae.
'Cause the gist is she has twisted open.
so I'm hopin', hey.
They won't foreclose if my fray.
Just flows to that rose, Fannie Mae.

With housing prices through the roof.
I felt so bulletproof.
And then:
poof!
Apparently there was a goof.
I'm from the swarm whose norm
was play dumb to the coming storm.
Jumbo, Fannie.
Bummer to conform.

But who'd suppose.
The way it goes.
The payments I sweat
will re-set
'til I get to BK?

I say.
I am praying for assist from
that rose, Fannie Mae.
'Cause the gist is she has twisted open.
so I'm hopin', hey.
They won't foreclose if my fray.
Just flows to that rose, Fannie Mae.

They won't foreclose if my fray.
Just flows to that rose:
Fannie Mae.
