DESPERATION ROW
They're selling postcards of the down ramp,
They're painting the pillar brown,
The barricks are filled with Dogrib,
They've just finished the crown,
Here comes the IAND commissioner,
They've got him in a trance,
A Cayman Island bank book,
Is that what's in his pants?
And the majors they are restless,
They need somewhere to go,
As Nick and Si look out tonight
From Desperation Row
John Kaiser, he seems so easy,
"It takes one to know one," he smiles,
He wants a private placement,
Bobby Bishop style,
And in come Grandich he's moaning,
"Cheap shares for me, I believe,"
And Randy says, "You're in the wrong place my friends,
You better leave."
And the only sound that's left,
After the hucksters all go,
Is Kaiser looking jealously
From Desperation Row
Now that Mauritania's busted,
Quebec is not to be,
Alberta's a bad memory,
And Greenland's wait and see,
Seems that Snap's the only project,
That majors want to own,
But Randy isn't biting,
Proceeding on his own,
And RTZ they're griping,
Nault's slowing down their show,
Now RTZ has joined the crowd,
On Desperation Row
Schulich disguised as Robin Hood,
With his royalties in a trunk,
Passed this way an hour ago,
With his friend, a jealous Munk,
He looked so immaculately frightful,
Retreating to his vault
He should have made an offer,
His own snap crackle fault,
Now you would not think to look at him,
But he was famous long ago,
For keeping his shareholders,
Off Desperation Row
Mr. Market he kept down Winspear,
The stock it seemed to die,
As all those hyped up dot coms,
Climbed straight up to the sky,
But reality it came in,
And dot coms hit the dust,
And now it looks like Winspear
Is twenty bucks or bust,
So all you tardy CEO's,
You had your chance to blow,
So send us your regrets right now
