The Ballad of Howard the Shark
Gimme your stock, it's not worth a dime
The company's broke, just a matter of time,
The sky it is falling, it's already dark,
So the little man sold his to .....Howard the Shark.
Then slowly it rose, like smoke from a fire,
The stock started low, but then it went higher,
Until everyone loved it, just couldn't be beat,
Fidelity's buying, said the man on the street.
And Howard the Shark helped move it along,
Dishing good news like music with every song,
Wow! That bad little stock was all shiny again,
And Howard began all his selling right THEN.
He sold it that morning, he sold it that night,
He sold it to every sucker in sight,
Until somebody noticed and sold right along,
But as usual most never knew what was wrong.
And one day the little guy ran out of money,
He'd averaged it down 'til his tummy felt funny,
He'd bought it at six, five, four, even three,
And each time he thought the bottom would be.
Now the sad little stock was barely alive,
No one loved it, they all said it was jive,
But in waters off Vancouver, they were swimming again,
Having much fun, never seeing his fin.
So he took little bites of that sad little stock,
Till he'd eaten so much that it felt like a rock,
Then he belched out some gas and called it a tip,
Let the small guy bend over and prepare to be ripped.
