ALL AND ALL ITS JUST ANOTHER TRICK FROM THE WALL
Pink Floyd, Brick in the Wall)
WilliamBanzai7

We don't need no regulation
We dont need no risk control
No dark sarcasm in the court rooms
Hey Paulsen leave us banks alone
Hey! Cuomo! Leave them banks alone!
All in all it's just another trick from the Wall.
All in all its just another trick from the Wall.

We don't need no regulation
We dont need no risk control
No dark sarcasm in the hearing room
People leave us banks alone
Hey! Waxman! Leave them banks alone!
All in all it's just another trick from the Wall.
All in all you're just another mark for the Wall.

Stand still Laddy

"Wrong, Do it again!"
"If you don't screw yer customers, you can't be dishonest. How can you
be honest if you work on the Street?"
"You! Yes, you behind the trading screen, screw that pensioner!"

THE LADY IS A ROGUE TRAMP
(The Lady is A Tramp, Frank Sinatra)
WilliamBanzai7

Sung by John McBlame:

She's just too hungry, for a Vice Presidential date
She loves political mud slinging, never heard of Watergate
She'd never bother, with "UnAmerican" voters she hates
Thats why the lady is a rogue tramp

Doesnt like to play games, with media barons and earls
Would only go to campaigning, in ermine and pearls
Will dish the dirt, unlike the rest of us girls
Thats why the lady is a rogue tramp

She loves the free, fresh permafrost wind in her hair
Northern redneck life without care
Shes broke, but its ok the RNC's there
She loves her trailer camp even though, its cold and its damp
Thats why the lady is a rogue tramp

Doesnt like strategy games, with sharpies and aides
Won't get on the bus unless its prepaid
Will dish out more campaign dirt, than the rest of us broads
Thats why the lady is a rogue tramp

Political Running Man

We are witnessing the Political version of Schwarzeneggers Running Man:

Ladies and Gentleman, we've had Joe the Plumber, Joe Six Pack, Sarah the Pit Veeper, Ayers the Terrorist, even Barack's pal Bush the GOP President. RIP all of them. Now we bring you Ashley the Campaign Volunteer!!!

McCain: This is TV politics, that's all it is. It has nothing to do with people, it's to do with ratings! For fifty years, we've told them what to eat, what to drink, what to wear... for Christ's sake, Barack, don't you understand? Americans love television. They wean their kids on it. Listen. They love game shows, they love wrestling, they love sports and violence. So what do we do? We give 'em *what they want*! We're number one, Barack, that's all that counts, believe me. I've been in the business for thirty years.

Barack: Well John, I may not have been in political game show business for as long as you have. But I'm a quick learner. And right now, I'm going to give the audience what *I* think they want....

HEDGE FUND CASTLES MADE OF SAND
(CASTLES MADE OF SAND, Jimi Hendrix)
WilliamBanzai7

Down on the Street you can hear the investors scream youre a disgrace
As they slam the door in your drunken face
And now you stand outside
And all others start to gossip and drool
You cry oh, the markets they're just mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door you lean and start a scene,
But your tears fall and burn as the the market turns blood red

And so Hedge Fund castles made of sand fall in the market sea, eventually

A little indian brave who before he was ten,
Played wampum in the woods with his indian friends
And he built up a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fearless hedge fund chief
Many trading moons past and more the dream grew strong until
Tomorrow he would make his first trade long and show his trading warrior skills
But something went wrong, surprise bear attack killed him in his sleep that night...

And so Hedge Fund castles made of sand melt into the market sea, eventually
LAMENT OF GREENSPAN THE LEVERAGE KING
(Jack's Lament, The Nitemare Before Christmas)
WilliamBanzai7

There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best
For my talents are renowned far and wide
When it came to surprises in the monetary light
I exceled without ever even trying
With the slightest little effort of my fractional reserve charms
I have seen global investors give out a shriek
With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan
I have cut interest rates and swept the very bravest central bankers off their feet

Yet year after year, it was the same routine
And I grew so weary of the sound of irrationally exuberant dreams
And I, Greenspan, the Leverage King
Have grown so tired of the same old free market thing

Oh, somewhere deep inside of the US economy
An emptiness began to grow
There's was something else out there, far from my Wall Street home
A longing that I've never known

I'm a master of risk, and a demon of market sleight
And I'll scare you right out of your trading pants
To a guy in Kentucky, I was Mister McLucky
But now I'm known as a financial Bill Buckner on an ill fated October nite

And since I was with the Fed, I could take off my head
To recite Keynesian quotations
No banker nor trader could babble like I could
With the opacity of my recitations

But who here would ever understand
That the Leverage King with the capitalist grin
Would tire of his crown, if they only understood
He'd give it all up if he only could

Oh, there's an empty place in my bones
That calls out for more unknown unknowns
The fame and notoriety that will come through the years
Does nothing for these empty free market tears...
Voodoo Trade
(Voodoo Chile (slight return), Jimi Hendrix)
WilliamBanzai7

Well, I stand up next to the markets
And I chop em down with the edge of my hand.
Well, I stand up next to the markets,
Chop em down with the edge of my hand.
Well, I pick up all the pieces one by one,
Might even raise just a little cash.
Cause Im a Voodoo Trade,
Lord knows Im a Voodoo Trade, baby.

I didnt mean to take up all your sweet time,
Ill give it right back to you one of these trading days.
I said I didnt mean to take up all your sweet time,
Ill give it right back one of these black trading days.
And if I dont meet you no more in this financial world
Then ill, Ill meet you in the next one and dont be late, dont be late.
Cause Im a Voodoo Trade, Voodoo Trade,
Lord knows Im a Voodoo Trade, hey hey hey.
Im a Voodoo Trade, baby.

THE RATING AGENCIES
(The Adams Family Song)
WilliamBanzai7

They're sleepy and they're stupid,

THE THREE REGULATORY STOOGES
(The Three Stooges, Floyds Garage)
WilliamBanzai7

Snow he is the leader, Greenspan is a bleeder
Cox does a funny dance
Howling with laughter, and that was right after
McCain set fire to his pants

Best thing that's on CNBC
Wish we could watch them daily
I just love The Three Regulatory Stooges
Bumbling frustration
They are an obsession
Gotta love The Three Regulatory Stooges
They are so damn funny
Cox he is a dummy

Stooges Rule!

Finger to the eyeball, Then you watch them all fall
From a very high ladder
The one when they are playing with GNP numbers, they couldn't be dumber
Slapping Snow gets madder

Best thing that's on CNBC
Wish we could watch them daily
I just love The Three Regulatory Stooges
Bumbling frustration
They are an obsession
I just love The Three Regulatory Stooges
They are so damn funny
Cox he is a dummy
Stooges Rule!

They call him the maejstro Greenspan,
Got a wrench to the nose
Cox he needs a shampoo, Snow is hitting him too
Brain damaged from all his blows

Best thing that's on CNBC
Too bad we can't watch them daily
I just love The Three Regulatory Stooges
Bumbling frustration
They are an obsession
I just love The Three Regulatory Stooges
They are so damn funny
Cox he is a dummy

Stooges Rule!

Stooges Rule!
Up North Girl
(Uptown Girl, Billy Joel)
WilliamBanzai7

Up North girl
Shes thinks she's livin in Joe Six Pack's world
But she spends it like a jet set girl
Until last month no one ever bought her pearls

Now their voting for an Up North girl
Shes been living in a trailer trash world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now shes running with a Neocon man
And she's wearin nothin but Louis Vuitton

And she knows just what
She wants from Saks and Bloomingdales
And when she wakes up
Shes already made up her mind

Shell see its not so tough
Just because she can't get enough
The RNC'c in love with an up North girl
You know they love her in her $150,000 uptown clothes
She'll never tire of her high class toys
And all her presents from all the GOP boys

Up North girl
You know we cant afford to buy her threads
But maybe someday when her ship goes out
Shell understand what kind of hypocrite she's been
And then we'll win

And when shes walking
Shes looking so politically refined
But when shes talking
Shes just one big political land mine

Up North girl
Shes an up North girl
You know those RNC slugs
they're in love
With an up North girl

Barack Sings: John McCain

(Purple Rain, Prince)
The Artist: WilliamBanzai7

I never meant to cause the GOP any sorrow.
I never meant to cause them any pain.
I only wanted to give Americans hope for tommorrow
And while I'm at it get them laughing at that clown McCain

John McCain, John McCain
Vote for him for more of the same
John McCain, or is it John McSame

I only want to see you laughing at that clown McCain.

I never wanted you to be a full time DNC lover.
I only wanted you to be some kind of independent friend.
Baby I could never steal you from another.
It will be such a sham if we get 4 more years of the Neocon insane

John McCain, John McCain
A vote for him is a vote for more of the same
John McCain, or is it John McSame

I just don't want to see Americans suffering underneath that clown McCain

"My friends" you know, you know, you know times are changing.
It's time we all reach out for something new,
That means you too.
You say you want a charismatic leader,
But you can't seem to make up your mind.
I think you better open it,
And let me guide you from the people without brains.

John McCain, John McCain
Hes a man without brains
John McCain, or is it John McSame

If you know what I'm singing about up here.
C'mon raise your hand.

John McCain, John McCain
Vote for him for more of the same
John McCain, or is it John McSame

I only want to see us, only want to see us
lead by someone whose got brains
SARAH FEEL'S PRETTY

(I Feel Pretty, West Side Story)

WilliamBanzai7


SARAH
I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and even bright!
And I pity
Any trailer girl who isn't me tonight.

I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.

See the pretty hockey mom in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive mom be?
Such a pretty Vice Presidential face,
Such a pretty $5000 dress,
Such a pretty red lipsticked smile,
Such a pretty me!

I feel stunning
And entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved
By a bunch of GOP red necked cowboys!

GIRLS
Have you met our good friend Sarah,
The craziest girl on Joe sixpacks block?
You'll know her the minute you see her,
She's the one who got a broken clock.

She thinks she's smart.
She thinks she's got a great campaign.
She isn't smart,
She's merely shopping McCain insane.

It must be the campaign heat
Or some rare hypocritical disease,
Or too much foies gras to eat
Or maybe it's media fleas.

Keep away from her,
Send for Gap Chinos!
This is not the
Sara we thought we knew!

SARAH
I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty
That the District should give me its key.
A Senate committee
Should be organized to honor me.

GIRLS
La la la la . . .

SARAH
I feel dizzy,
I feel sunny,
I feel fizzy and funny and fine,
And so pretty,
That the Miss GOP title can be mine!
MASTERCHARGE (McCAIN)
(Mastercharge, Albert Collins)
WilliamBanzai7

I got my Veep running mate a platnum card
Just the other day
I owe $150,000 dollars
Just for yesterday

I said, "Sarah, here's a present
Go out and shop around,
Buy you a couple a-dresses,
Browse around downtown"

She did just what I told her
Bought one, two, three and more
Came home lookin' silly
Makin' goo-goo eyes at me

Mastercharge, I'll break an' bury her card
Mastercharge, I'll break an' bury her card
Mastercharge, I'll break an' bury her card

Oh yeah, charge it!

Said, "Did you get your dress?"
"Yes, one or two"
I needed me some shoes,
I needed some bags and jewelry, too"

Two thousand dollar dresses
I could-a made, I can't sew
It made me so mad
I could call her a so and so

Mastercharge, I'll break an' bury her card
Mastercharge, break an' bury her card
Mastercharge, break an' bury her card

Oh yeah, charge it for me, charge it, baby!

Hey! Ow!

For one-a that gal's dresses, yeah
I paid more than one week's campaign gas
I'm so mad, I just had to laugh

I could see in my mind
On a horse like Paul Revere
Hate to check my mail boxes
'Cause these bills keep comin' here

Mastercharge, break an' bury her card
Mastercharge, break an' bury her card
Mastercharge, break an' bury her card

Oh, let's charge it!

THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE MCCAIN AWAY HA HA
(They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha Ha)
WilliamBanzai7

Remember when you voted for Obama and I got on my knees and begged you not to because I'd go berserk?
Well, you left me anyhow and then election day got worse and worse and now you see I've gone completely out of my politically insipid mind.

And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha
They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
to the GOP funny farm where life is beautiful all the time, and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats
and they're coming to take me away ha ha

You thought I was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said that losing your votes would make me flip my lid, right? You know you laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed, you laughed and laughed and then you voted left, but now you know I'm utterly mad.

And they're coming to take me away Ha Ha
They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
To the GOP happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket Neocon jerks who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
They're coming to take me away ha ha...

I chose Palin, I'm just insane, I hired an unlicensed plumber even though I'm dumber and this is how you paid me back for all my kind unselfish loving deeds. Huh?
Well you just wait they'll find you yet, and when they do they'll lock you in the AEI you mangy mutt.

And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha
They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
To the GOP funny farm where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats
They're coming to take me away Ha Ha
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds and Neocon jerks who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
They're coming to take me away Ha Ha Ha

Your home the one the bank foreclosed, You cried to me democratically is the way you must live or you'll feel hurt.
But, I see, I see Obama's new approach, your anxious economic angst has turned your vote from red to blue while I paid the campaign rent, thanks!

And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha
They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
To the Neocon loony bin with all you can eat perscription drugs like torizine, and geritol, and electric shock and awe and insulin
They're coming to take me away Ha Ha

If McCain Only Had His Own Brain
(If I Only Had A Brain, Wizard of Oz)
WilliamBanzai7

He could while away the hours, conferrin' with his pal Palin
"Gee this innovat'n is a drain"
And his head he'd be scratchin' while
his thoughts were busy hatchin'
If McCain only had his own brain.

He'd unravel every economic riddle for any individ'le,
In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts he'd be thinkin'
he could be another Lincoln
If McCain only had his own brain.

Oh, he could tell you why the facts are to be ignored.
He could think of things he'd never thunk before.
And then he'd sit, and think some more.
He would not be just a nothin' his head all full of neo-con stuffin'
His heart all full of pain.

It would not be dumber and dumber,
He'd be smarter than a licensed plumber
If McCain only had his own brain.

HEDGE SLAMMER
(Sledge Hammer, Peter Gabriel)
WilliamBanzai7

You could have a net gain
If you just laid on your back
You could have your P&L flying
When leverage was cheap and
the market wind was at your back

All your trades were long
It was easy and it was sweet

You could be a swinging big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have three fast ferraris bumping
You thought the performance fees would never end

Now the markets a hedge slammer
Why don't you call it a day
Oh the markets just a hedge slammer
This will be your testimony
Now you have to earn a fair wage
the old fashioned way
Cos life's hard for a hedge hog
You don't have to be a sage to know
Money don't grow on trees

LAMENT OF HANK THE BAILOUT KING
(Jack's Lament, The Nightmare Before Christmas)
WilliamBanzai7

There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best
For my talents are renowned far and wide
When it comes to surprises in the green trading light
I excel without ever even trying
With the slightest little effort of my hedging charms
I have seen global investors give out a shriek
With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan
I have swept the very bravest bankers of their feet

Yet year after year, it's the same routine
And I grow so weary of the sound of Wall Street dreams
And I, Hank, the Bailout King
Have grown so tired of the same old free market thing

Oh, somewhere deep inside of the US financial system
An emptiness began to grow
There's something else out there, far from my Wall Street home
A longing that I've never known

I'm a master of risk, and a demon of market sleight
And I'll scare you right out of your trading pants
To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister McLucky
And I'm now known throughout England and France

And since I am with the Fed, I can take off my head
To recite Keynesian quotations
No banker nor trader can scream like I can
With the fury of my recitations

But who here would ever understand
That the Bailout King with the capitalist grin
Would tire of his crown, if they only understood
He'd give it all up if he only could

Oh, there's an empty place in my bones
That calls out for something unknown
The fame and praise that will come next year a
Does nothing for these empty free market tears...

NIGHTMARE FORECLOSURE ON MY STREET
(Nightmare on My Street, Will Smith)
WilliamBanzai7

Now I have a story that I'd like to tell
About this banker you all know he had me scared as hell
He comes to me at night after I crawl into bed
He's burnt up like a weenie and his name is Freddie Debts
He wears the same suit and wingtips every single day
And even if it's hot outside he wears it anyway
He's home when I'm awake but he shows up when I sleep
I can't believe that there's a foreclosure goin down on my street
It was a Saturday evening if I remember it right
And we had just gotten back from the ATM last night
So the gang and I thought that it would be groovy
If we summoned up the posse and done rushed the movie
Then we dipped to the theater set to ill buggin cold havin a ball
Somethin about Wall Street was the movie we saw
The way it started was decent you know nuthin real fancy
About these homeboy's from Freddie and this dude Bernanke
But word when it was over I said yo that was def
And everything seemed all right when we left
But when I got home and laid down to sleep
That began the foreclosures, but on my street
It was burning in my piggy bank like an oven
My bed soaked with sweat And man I was bugging
I checked the clock and it stopped at 4:00 AM
The markets had melted it was so darn hot And I was thirsty
I wanted something cool to quench my thirst
I thought to myself yo this DOW close was the worst
But when I got downstairs I noticed something was wrong
I was home all alone but CNBC was on
I thought nothin off it as I grabbed the remote
I pushed the power button and then I almost choked
When I heard this awful voice coming from behind It said,"You missed a payment...prepare to die!!"
Man, I ain't even wait to see who it was Broke inside my drawers and screamed, "So long, cuz"
Got halfway up the block I calmed down and stopped screaming Then thought, "Oh, I get it, I must be dreaming"
I strolled back home with a grin on my grill I think that since this is a dream I might as well get ill
I walked in the house, the BSD
But Freddie Debt killed all that noise real quick
he grabbed me by my neck and said "Here's what we'll do
We gotta lotta work here, me and you
The Subprime debts of your friends you and I will claim
You've got the body and I've got the quantitative brain"
I said, "Yo Freddie I think you got me all wrong I ain't partners with nobody with positions that long
Look, I'll be honest man, this team won't work The girls won't be on you, Fred, your bank is all burnt"
Freddie got mad and his head started steaming
But I thought what the hell im only dreamin
I said please leave Fred so I can get some sleep
But give me a call maybe we'll hang out next week
I patted him on the shoulder, said "thanks for stopping by"
then I opened up the door and said "take care guy"
he got mad, drew back his arm, and accelerated my repayment date
I laughed at first, then thought, "hold up, that hurt" It wasn't a dream, man, this guy was for real
I said, "Freddy, uh, pal, there's been an awful mistake here"
No further words and then I darted upstairs
Crashed through my door then jumped on my bed
Pulled the covers up over my head And said, "Oh please do something with Fred"
He jumped on my bed, went through the covers with his collector claws
Tried to get me, but my alarm went off And then silence
It was a whole new day I thought, "Huh, I wasn't scared of him anyway"
Until I noticed those rips on my bank account sheets
And that was proof that there had been a foreclosure on my street

LETS DO THE SUBPRIME WARP AGAIN!


LETS DO THE SUBPRIME WARP AGAIN!
(THE END OF MORAL HAZARD)
(Lets Do the TIME WARP, Rocky Horror Picture Show)
WilliamBanzai7

It's astounding, markets are fleeting
Greenspan's Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
We've got to regain control

I remember doing the Subprime Warp
Drinking those moments when
MORAL HAZARD would skip past me and the greed would be calling
Let's do the Subprime Warp again...
Let's do the Subprime Warp again!

It's just a CDO to the left
And then a backstop CDS to the right
With your hands on your FLIPS
You bring those TOXIC TRANCHES in tight
But it's the ALT-A thrust that really drives you insane,
Let's do the Subprime Warp again!

It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
So you can't see me, no not at all
In another dimension, with fraudulent intention
Well-deluded, I see all
With a bit of a mind flip
You're there in the SHADOW BANKING slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out on SECURITIZATION, like you're under sedation
Let's do the Subprime Warp again!

KING OF GEEK MODE


KING OF GEEK MODE
(King of the Road)
WilliamBanzai7

Traders who just invent
Rules without common sense.
No phones, or blind fool bets
Ain't got no trading sense
Ah, but..two hours of crunchin in the data room
Buys an eight million dollar four bedroom
I'm a man of means by standard means
King of Geek Mode.

Black box, midnight brain
Innovative stat trades, just insane.
Old worn out suits and shoes,
Don't pay no heed to financial news,
I smoke Cuban stogies and make garbled sounds
Short sell, but not too much all around
I'm a man of standard means by no means
King of Geek Mode.

I know every trader quant from here to Maine
All of their children, and all of their names
And every printout in every town
And every black box that ain't locked
When no one's around.

I sing,
Traders who just invent
Rules without common sense
No phone, or blind fool bets
I ain't got no trading sense
Ah, but, two hours of crunchin in the data room
Buys an eight million dollar four bed room
I'm a man of means by standard means
King of Geek Mode.

Oh! You better watch out,
You better not cry,

Checking it twice,
Gonna find out he's naughtier than nice.
McShame's campaign is starting to drown!

He'll slime you when you're sleeping,
He'll use that old muck rake.
He knows his style is bad not good,
Don't be fooled for goodness sake!

Oh! You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
Those polls don't lie
McShames's campaign is starting to drown!

PARTY LIKE ITS 1929
(melody 1999, Prince)
The artist: WilliamBanzai7

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn it was Wall Street judgment day
The S&P was purple and the DOW was gray,
there were traders runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction,
U know I didn't even care

CHORUS
say say Dow heads down to zero Wall Street party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1929

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
So sue me if I go to fast
But Wall Street is just a party, and parties weren't meant to last
Paper losses is all around us, my mind says prepare to fight
So if I gotta die I'm gonna watch Cramer tonight

CHORUS
say say Dow heads down to zero--Wall Street party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1929


intro 2x
Lemme tell ya somethin'
If U didn't come to party,
don't bother knockin' on Paulsons's bailout door
It's burning a hole in his pocket,
and baby he's ready to ask for more
Yeah, everybody's got an unhedged bomb,
we could all die any day
But before I'll let that happen,
I'll dance my investment banking life away

Oh, they say
say subprime securitization party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1929
say say DOW heads down to zero party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1929

we gonna, oww

1929
Dont ya wanna go 1929
Dont ya wanna go 1929
Dont ya wanna go 1929
SUBTERRANEAN DOW JONES BLUES
(to Subterranean Homesick Blues, Bob Dylan)
WilliamBanzai7

Johnny's in the basement
Trading on the internet
Out on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The banker in the trench coat
Kicked out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
And wants his mortgage paid off
Look out kid
It's that bad trade you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new scam
The man in the red cap
With the the big bailout pen
100 Billion dollar bills
You gotta find some new thrills

Big Mack's got a big position to foot
Morgan's full of CDS soot
Talkin' that Lehman put
All of us on same bus but
The markets tanked anyway
Mack says that many say
We can go bust anyday
Orders in from Ebay
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your winged tip toes
Don't try "No Doz"
Better stay away from those
Carry round a financial fire hose
Hard to keep a clean nose
Watch the men in plain clothes
You don't need a weather map
To know which way your stock goes

Get sick, get well
Hang around a red ink well
Closing bell, hard to tell
If anything their goin' to sell
Try hard, get tarred
Get back, go to jail
Get enjoined, jump bail
Join a hedge fund, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But losers, cheaters
Crooked subprime CDO dealers
Hang around with 500 dollar Chelsea strippers
Sitting in the toxic asset whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow market leaders
Watch the Federal debt meter

Ah get burned, keep warm
Shorts dance, lose your pants
Get dressed, sell distressed
Try to be a new success
Please buy, don't sell
Its a steal, need a lift
Twenty years of Wall Street hell
And they put you on a burger shift
Look out kid
Try to keep it all hid
Better jump through a loophole
Light yourself a roman candle
Don't get caught wearing Greek sandals
Try to avoid the market scandals
Don't wanna be a Wall Street bum
You better chew some new gum
The Fed pump don't work
Cause the vandals stole the handles

IT WASNT ME


Shaggy - It Wasn't Me

"It Wasn't Me"--AIG
(Ricardo Ducent)
WilliamBanzai7

(Yo', man) Yo'
(Open up, man) What do you want, man?
(My shareholders just caught me) You let them catch you?
(I don't know how I let this happen) With who?
(The financial products unit, you know) Man
(I don't know what to do) Say it wasn't you
(Alright)

PW Coopers came in and caught us red-handed
Trying to hide our subprime surprises next door
Picture this, our books were butt naked, lying on the boardroom floor

How could I forget that AIG
Is a public company
All this time they were standing there
They never took their eyes off me

But now how you can grant the FEDs access to your boardroom
Examiners and witnesses while you cling to your pillow
You better watch your backs before they turn into CEO killers
Best for you and the situation not to call the bean counters
To be a true player you have to know how to play
If they say a night, convince them say a day
Never admit to a word when they say makes a claim
And you tell them in a babble, no way!

But they caught us running up the bonus tab (It wasn't me)
Saw us selling shifty CDS paper so we could collect fast fees (It wasn't me)
Caught us pretending everything was OK while we hid massive liabilities (It wasn't me)
Even caught us in the St Regis SPA (It wasn't me)

They saw the red marks in our CDO books (It wasn't me)
Heard the words that we told the analysts (It wasn't me)
Heard the screams get louder (It wasn't me)
Paulsen waited until it was almost over

Hank came in and caught us red-handed
Trying to push our subprime mess next door
Picture this, our books were butt naked, laying on the boardroom floor

We had tried to keep Congressman Waxman
From what he was about to see
Why should he believe me
When I told him it wasn't me

THE FULD ON CAPITAL HILL
(to the Fool on the Hill, the Beatles)
WilliamBanzai7

Day after last Sunday,
Alone on Capital Hill,
The man with the foolish Wall Street grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,
And he never gives an honest answer,

But that fool Fuld on the Hill,
Sees the DOW going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world of finance spinning 'round.

Well on the way,
Head in a cloud,
The man of a 10,000 unemployed bankers talking perfectly loud
But nobody cares to hear him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,

But that fool Fuld on the Hill,
Sees the DOW going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world of finance spinning 'round.

And nobody seems to like him,
They can tell what he wants to do,
And he never shows his feelings,
He sent Lehman down the tubes

But the Fuld on the hill,
Sees the Dow going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world of finance spinning 'round.
THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND
(to the melody of the song)
WilliamBanzai7

It was just a few blocks North of Fraunces Tavern
That we sold stale foies gras to investor fools
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
Think of all the great scams we used to do

Those were the days, my friend
We thought our greed ccould never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a trading day
We conned whoever we'd chose
We'd slight and never lose
For we were dumb but sure to have our way

La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La La

Then, the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our seedy stash along the way
If, by chance, I'd see you near the tavern,
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Those were the days, my friend
We thought our greed could never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a trading day
We conned whoever we'd chose
We'd slight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La La

Just tonight, I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be on the Street
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely banker really me?

Those were the days, my friend
We thought cheap credit never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a trading day
We conned whoever life we chose
We'd slight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

BAIL OUT HIGHWAY 61
(to Highway 61, Bob Dylan)
Revised Lyrics WilliamBanzai7

Oh Bush said to Paulson, "Lets have us some fun"
Hank says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
Bush say, "No." Hank say, "What?"
Bush say, "You can do what you want Hank, but
The next time you see me comin' you better run"
Well Hank says, "Where do you want this financial chicanery done?"
Bush says, "Out on Bailout Highway 61."

Well Dick the Gorilla he had a bloody nose
Dr. Ben said they wouldn't give him and Lehman no clothes
He asked poor Ben where can I go
Ben said there's only one place I know
Dick said tell me quick man I got to run
Ben just pointed with his FED gun
And said that way down on Bailout Highway 61.

Well the Goldman banker said to Hank the King
I got 20 Billion AIG red white and blue credit default strings
And a thousand telephones that don't ring
Do you know where I can get rid of these things
And Hank the King said let me think for a minute son
And he said yes I think it can be easily done
Just take everything down to Bailout Highway 61.

Now the Senator's daughter on the twelfth night
Told the her Senator father that things just weren't right
My money market's complexion is much too white
He said come here and step into the light he says hmm you're right
Let me tell the Senator mother this has to be done
But the Senator's mother was with the Senator's son
And they were both out on Bailout Highway 61.

Now the wily Wall Street scoundrel he was very bored
He was tryin' to create a new financial wardrobe
He found a seedy promoter who nearly fell off the floor
He said I never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yes I think it can be very easily done
We'll just put some ads out on the Street
And do it once again on Bailout Highway 61.
