"Those were the Erwin Jacobs Corporate Raider Days"
Sung to; "Those were the days my friends"
-----------------------------------------------
Once upon a time there was a tavern on Wall Street called Harry's
Where Erwin Jacobs and Michael Milken used to raise a glass or two
Remember how they laughed away the hours
Think of all the great things junk bonds
Could do
Those were the Erwin Jacobs Corporate Raider days, my friend
Erwin Jacobs thought they would never end
He'd sing and dance forever and a day
He'd live the life Corporate Raiders choose
Green Mail and junk bonds were their tools
For they were young
And sure to have their way
La, La La, La, La,
La, La La, La, La,
La, La La, La, La,
La, La La, La, La,
La, La La, La, La,
Those were the Erwin Jacobs Corporate Raider days
Then the busy years went rushing by them
They lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see them in Harry's tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
Through the door
There came familiar laughter
I saw your face
I hope the rumors of dementia going around the Wall Street are not true
Oh my friend, we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts
The dreams are still the same
Those were the Erwin Jacobs Corporate Raider days, my friend
They thought they'd never end
People like Ivan Bosky and Boon T. Pickins would sing and dance
Forever and a day
they'd live the life they'd choose
Do some green mail and never lose
Those were the days
Oh yes those were the Erwin Jacobs Corporate Raiders days
Just tonight Mr. P$nk stood before Harry's tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass Mr. P$nk saw a strange reflection
Was that one shorting CONSECO really me?
If by chance I'd see Erwin Jacobs in Harry's tavern, we'd smile at one other
yes sir-e
Not even full page ad's in the Wall Street Journal
Were going to scare even me.
Value investing is Mr. P$nks motto
He has now taught Jacobs a thing or two
CONSECO's balance sheet looks like a war zone
Mr P$nk hope the rumors of dementia are not true
La, La La, La, La,
La, La La, La, La,
La, La La, La, La,
La, La La, La, La,
La, La La, La, La,
Those were the Erwin Jacobs Corporate Raider days |
