“Hello Mr. Dollar” (2011) by Eddie Amos, Father of Tori Amos. Yes, it’s true, this is a brand new video by Tori’s Dad, and her Mom is in the video, too. Very bizarre and interesting.

youtube description: Eddie’s first release is an avant garde comical sketch about the current American debt crisis. Using low production for humor and awareness of more serious issues, Eddie’s video presents the question — what will happen to the Arts and Media if the power behind the dollar is destroyed?

Lyrics:

WHO ARE YOU FROM WHENCE HAVE YOU COME
MY NAME IS MR DOLLAR AND I AM SICK

LYING IN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT ON A RESPIRATOR
MEDIC EDDIE WILL TELL YOU MY SAD STORY

NOT THE GOLD MAN NOT THE SILVER MAN AM I
NOT THE COPPER MAN IT’S THE SICK TIN MAN

WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS THERE SHALL BE YOUR HEART
ALSO HELLO MR. DOLLAR YOU ARE WITHOUT A HEART

YOU HAD A GOLD HEART DURING THE DEPRESSION
WE WERE POOR MR. DOLLAR YOU WERE KING

I DREAMED OF HAVING GOLD A GOLD COIN SOME DAY
I KNEW THERE WAS GOLD IN FORT KNOX

WHO ARE YOU AND FROM WHENCE HAVE YOU COME
MY NAME IS MR DOLLAR AND I AM SICK

LYING IN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT ON A RESPIRATOR
MEDIC EDDIE WILL TELL YOU MY SAD STORY

NOT THE GOLD MAN NOT THE SILVER MAN AM I
NOT THE COPPER MAN IT’S THE SICK TIN MAN

IF YOU AIN’T GOLD MR DOLLAR WHO ARE YOU
OH THERE WERE THE DAYS OF SILVER

A SILVER DOLLAR A BOX OF CHERRIES TOO
TO CELEBRATE GEORGE WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY

PRESIDENT KENNEDY WAS HONORED BY MR. DOLLAR
NOT GOLD NOT SILVER BUT A COPPER SILVER DOLLAR

WHO ARE YOU AND FROM WHENCE HAVE YOU COME
MY NAME IS MR DOLLAR AND I AM SICK

LYING IN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT ON A RESPIRATOR
MEDIC EDDIE WILL TELL YOU MY SAD STORY

NOT THE GOLD MAN NOT THE SILVER MAN AM I
NOT THE COPPER MAN IT’S THE SICK TIN MAN

MR. DOLLAR AND I WENT AROUND THE WORLD
I HAD A FIST FULL OF COPPER DOLLARS

WHAT A GREAT TRIP JOY ME AND MR. DOLLAR
COME YANKEE BOY WITH COPPER MONEY

MY HEART WAS LOST WHEN THEY SPIT ON YOU
THAT’S TRUE MR DOLLAR THEY SPIT ON YOU

WHO ARE YOU AND FROM WHENCE HAVE YOU COME
MY NAME IS MR DOLLAR AND I AM SICK

LYING IN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT ON A RESPIRATOR
MEDIC EDDIE WILL TELL YOU MY SAD STORY

HOW LOW CAN I SINK A BUM IN THE WORLD
NOT GOLD NOT SILVER IN MY HEART

NOT EVEN COPPER IT’S TIN IN MY HEART
THERE IN MY HEART I AM TIN THE LOWEST

MY NAME IS MR. DOLLAR THEY SPIT ON ME
DOC JUST ONE MORE CHANCE TO GET THE GOLD

WHO ARE YOU AND FROM WHENCE HAVE YOU COME
MY NAME IS MR DOLLAR AND I AM SICK

LYING IN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT ON A RESPIRATOR
MEDIC EDDIE WILL TELL YOU MY SAD STORY

NOT THE GOLD MAN NOT THE SILVER MAN AM I
NOT THE COPPER MAN IT’S THE SICK TIN MAN

MY NAME IS MR DOLLAR THEY SPIT ON ME
DOC JUST ONE MORE CHANCE TO GET THE GOLD
