The Lyrics

Those loco stock troops in retreat,
All goin' short, none goin' long.
Their charade is piquin' ire. . .
Fools, wastrels, louts, and subprime pawns.

Another death-of-rally glum day,
Shareholds worth less everywhere,
Banking houses now admit their shame:
Bad loans. . .SEC care?

Gray are these days; some pundits say,
Off Boomer-boom rose is the bloom.
Those backs of green, best days they've seen.
The keen: "Recessionary doom!"

Another death-of-rally bummed day. . .
Fearin' Nasdaq symbols damned.
In this terrain, poor the new standard is.
There's a Dow in "down"--understand?

Creepy control troll;
That guy was some ahole.
Was he so blind he couldn't see:
People who couldn't pay
Got huge loans anyway?
Too late, the change of Green'-ery.

Another death-of-rally glum day,
Shark loans worthless everywhere.
Another death-of-rally glum day:
We're in near-stagflation land.

Another death-of-rally bummed day. . . .

"Another fatalistic fun play / On this song by John Barry / But that's the norm and who can credibly / Make a case that's contrary?" 5-o-rama, JB.
