It's bound
to cost you dear
a billion pounds
and that's just for systems
you'd better get
your ass in gear
get up to speed
no use resisting
our action plan's
your worst nightmare
and it may not work
remember Jiway
but no you can't give up
just do it my way

I know
You'll never cope
We've issued forty two directives
You really haven't got a hope
Of keeping up
I don't expect it
Sometimes you'll fall
Along the way
On that great information highway
But just pick yourself up
And do it my way

There will be times
It'll drive you mad
It'll get too much
Really bad
But through it all
Forget your doubts
You must boot up
And don't log out
Just do the time
Just stay on line
And do it my way

We need transparency
We need your pre and post trade figures
It'll bring
Liquidity
So give it up
You must deliver
You must execute your trades
The best you can
There's no more leeway
So get those new upgrades
Just do it my way

I am DG
That's what I am
A Lamfalussy
Wise old man
I'm not a megalomaniac
I just rule the world
And that's a fact
Give up the fight
Just get it right
And do it my way
