The Dollar Dance

[Verse] They say the world spins on a dime But dollars play the leading line Goods and money cross the sea The cycle spins relentlessly [Verse 2] Ships with treasure dock the bay Sending riches far away In the maze of trade we dance Grasping every fleeting chance [Chorus] If we want the world to buy our exports They need to have American dollars They get dollars when we pay for imports Or when we lend them dollars we have saved [Bridge] It's a tango played on trading floors Carried by waves to distant shores Each step measured each note sung Every thread on which we're strung [Verse 3] Coins unravel tales untold Of fortunes gained and glories sold Paper trails where bonds are made A world of dreams and deals conveyed [Chorus] If we want the world to buy our exports They need to have American dollars They get dollars when we pay for imports Or when we lend them dollars we have saved
