As sung by financially and morally bankrupt Wall Street bankers, pleading with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson (former CEO of bankrupt Goldman Sachs) for a $700 billion "blank check" government welfare bailout to cover their losses

{Refrain}
Gone broke - throw us a line; believe us, gone broke - throw us a line.
We're goin' down; it's a bad situation; gone broke - throw us a line.
Waitin' for a bailout from ol' sweet Henry;
Hoping that we're bailed out on time.
We're goin' down; it's a bad situation; gone broke - throw us a line.

We're... whom you love... old friend, Henry.

Gone broke - throw us a line; believe us, gone broke - throw us a line.
We're goin' down; it's a bad situation; gone broke - throw us a line.
Waitin' for a bailout from ol' sweet Henry;
Hoping that we're bailed out on time.
We're goin' down; it's a bad situation; gone broke - throw us a line.

Hear... what we say... as our problems pile.
Bankruptcy we're spurning; save us from cash denial.

Gone broke - throw us a line; believe us, gone broke - throw us a line.
We're goin' down; it's a bad situation; gone broke - throw us a line.
Waitin' for a bailout from ol' sweet Henry;
Hoping that we're bailed out on time.
We're goin' down; it's a bad situation; gone broke - throw us a line.

Gone broke - throw us a line; believe us, gone broke - throw us a line.
We're goin' down; it's a bad situation; gone broke - throw us a line.
Waitin' for a bailout from ol' sweet Henry;
Hoping that we're bailed out on time.
We're goin' down; it's a bad situation; gone broke - throw us a line.

Gone broke - throw us a line; believe us, gone broke - throw us a line.
We're goin' down; it's a bad situation; gone broke - throw us a line.
Waitin' for a bailout from ol' sweet Henry;
Hoping that we're bailed out on time.
We're goin' down; it's a bad situation; gone broke - throw us a line.
