"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<B/>
