You put your right hand in and turn it all around.
"I put a spell on you"!
Then were gonna take the chickens from the coup and sell their eggs.
This animatronic Mayor Bloomberg cost the city, at least a billion dollars, but, will save the mayor from millions of jokes.
In the Blue Room, talking Green!!!
Hmmm. What happens if touch the smart board like this? Oh look! I just made another million!
And after the suplex, I finished him off with "The Claw"....as for the financial plan, I really have no idea.
"Look into my eyes, look into my eyes... not around my eyes, look into my eyes"
Just turn the lens a wee bit to the right to blur my scowl lines when I am talking about the deficit.
"...so all we have to do is grab Trump's wallet when he's not looking...REAL FAST LIKE THIS....and voila!! Budget is good to go!!"
Senator Palpatine uses the dark side of the Force to balance the budget.
Bloomberg with all his wealth still has to use osmosis to get things moving
Michael Bloomberg demonstrated his rendition of "Cats" in hopes that he could bring it back to Broadway before the end of his term as Mayor of NYC to line up his next gig. Let's face it, having bags of money is just not as fun as playing a kitty cat on Broadway.

Now where is the pocket frog app?
Any objections to the budget and I'll scratch your eyes out!
A little bit of this and that.
Fear the hand
My hand is naturally formed like this so it made sense for me to pick 'The Big Apple"
In order to increase the city's revenue and attract more tourists, I've decided to bring a dinosaur to the big apple.
Mayor Bloomberg to self: "If I could just reach in and pull out the debt we owe China!"
"...and I just put my hand on their head like this and sucked all the knowledge from their brain."
It's like making a taco after Cinco de Mayo. Grab a little of this and a little of that. Throw it in the tortilla and there you have it. Budget complete-a- mente!
Mayor Bloomberg demonstrates his use of the "Abra Cadabra" technique in creating the NYC budget.
Mayor Bloomberg literally crunches the numbers with bare hands!
As Mayor I have my hand on the lid of the cookie jar. Looks like no more cookies until 2015.
Mayor Bloomberg is relieved to announce that a pound of flesh from each citizen will not be required to meet the budget after all.
This is how I put "My hand" in New York city's cookie jar! I usually just grab a handful......
We're going to grab the bull by the horns.
If there's a tax dollar to be had, I'll find it.
We're planning on annexing Greenwich, CT and then just raising their taxes to pay for our schools and roads.
We're going to grab every tax dollar we can.
Ummm, are those pickelled eggs? Don't mind if I do.
We come in peace dont run .
In order for the US to be financially independent, we have to claw our way out of this massive deficit.
Mayor Bloomberg uses osmosis to get off Kathy Griffin's "D" list!1
