YOUR JOHN THAIN

BANZAI7 NEWS--On Thursday, speaking to an audience at the Wharton Business School, Mr. Thain addressed the touchy subject of his $1.2 million office renovation, which created quite a buzz when it was first reported in January. “If I had that to do over again,” he said, “I’d furnish it in Ikea.” (NYT)



YOU'RE JOHN THAIN
(You're so Vain, Carley Simon)
WilliamBanzai7

You waltzed into the Bail Out party
Like you were sailing on an unsinkable yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was really hiding a mega Merrill subprime surprise
You had one eye on the Level III mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all those second rate Charlotte Bankers dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and

You're John Thain
And yes this song is about you
Don't complain
I'll bet you think B of A can't live without you
Without you? Without you?

You had Ken Lewis several months ago
When he was so naive its hard to believe
Well, you said that the Thundering Herd would make an awesome notch on his sleeve
And that you John Thain would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was a 10 Million Dollar bonus snub
And good ol Ken's grandiose dreams turned out to be clouds in his bailout coffee
Clouds in his bailout coffee, and

You're John Thain
And yes this song is about you
You're John Thain
I'll bet you think B of A can't live without you
Don't you? Don't you?
