Renminbi

I'm getting' kinda dizzy when it comes to China's money;

I thought it was the yuan, but instead it's something funny

That sounds like it's a painter's name from Florence, Italy –

I'm talkin' bout that ever-lovin, struttin' Renminbi. 

Who is giving out these names to monetary units?

Maybe they've been eating some hallucinatory blewits.

Yen is pretty easy, so is ruble, rupee, sterling;

Others are so hard to say they nearly produce hurling.

Plus, the Chinese money is quite hinky – so they say;

It's either way too robust or is weak and turning grey.

Obama threatens trade war if the Renminbi don't buckle –

Which only makes the Chinese sit right back and softly chuckle.

They've got I.O.U.'s from everybody in the States –

Putting our economy on shaky roller skates;

One good push will send our fragile dollar down the crapper

While the folks in Beijing simply smile and look quite dapper.
