The Lyrics

Mifid is an EU Directive .. the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive. It is one of 42 in a series .. the Action Plan for Financial Services - aiming to increase liquidity, transparency and cross border trading ... to create a single market. Baron Lamfalussy headed a committee that devised the plan .. known as the "committee of wise men." These directives have massive systems implications re trading data etc. Jiway was a European cross border electronic exchange for the retail equity market which was closed down after making losses...
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
Paul Anka translated this song from the French in 1968 It was written by Jaques Reveaux and Claude Francois

Excellent job. A subject rarely touched on as well, except by you! 555

Martha --- Before I moved into software engineering, I worked for years doing computer programming in the financial services industry (on systems for global custody, corporate actions, income collection, foreign exchange, etc etc etc), so this parody has a particularly wacky resonance for me! 555

Good choice of OS with Jiway and leeway. Good humor in the last verse.
