| Parody Song Title: | "When the Wall Came Down" |
| Parody Written by: | MarthaDTox |
I was sucked into the City
In 89 - you may have guessed
Greed was good - the wall came down
The triumph of the West
Chorus
Oh City boy
Yeah you're makin it now
Sweet City boy
Oooooh you're rakin it now
I traded swaps and junk bonds
Buying low and selling high
Now I'm in it wholesale
Forex bullion and MMI
Oh City boy
Hey you're schemin it now
Sweet City Boy
Oooooh you're creamin it now
Every night I'd go out drinking
Whether I had won or lost
I know just what you're thinking
Yeah I found out to my cost
Oh City Boy
Yeah you're boozin it now
Oh City boy
Ooooh you're losin it now
Heavy gambling is addictive
A rush when the stakes are high
I better write some options now
On forex and MMIs
Oh City Boy
What are you dealing with now?
Sweet City Boy
Oooh you're feelin it now
I've got a massive short position
A tip that the yen would fall
Markets in transition
Soros would make his call
Oh City Boy
Who are you dealin with now?
City Boy
Oooh you're feelin it now
The longs ganged up against me
Yen went soaring high
Hey I'm being squeezed so hard in
Forex and MMIs
Oh City Boy
Who are you dealing with now?
Sweet City Boy
Yeah they're stealin it now
think I've got the answer
Met a guy - says he's CIA
Knows a prime bank market
one percent per day
Oh City Boy
Oooh you're spookin it now
Sweet City Boy
Oooh you're cookin it now
Must find ten million dollars
God knows how
But I have to try
I must close those short positions in
Forex and MMIs
Oh City Boy
Oooh you're scammin it now
City Boy
Yeah you're shammin it now
Some high net worth investors
Put up all the cash
It was going great - interest - what a rate!
Then it all began to crash
Oh City Boy
Ooooh you're dreamin it now?
Sweet City Boy
Oh you're screamin it now
The fraud squad came a - knocking
Tell the truth now you can't deny
You've ripped off your investors
In forex and MMIs
Oh City Boy
Who are messing with now?
Sweet City Boy
Yeah confessin it now
I'm in an open prison
Feeling sorry for myself
Ain't had no inner visions
God left me on the shelf
Oh City Boy
What are you payin for now?
City Boy
Who are you praying for now?
I'll be out of here tomorrow
Heading for that plane
To the Turks and Caicos islands
On-line trading - that's my game
Oh City Boy
Oooh you're wingin it now
Sweet City Boy
Yeah you're swingin it
I populate my chat rooms
hot tips for your tecchie shares
that's how I pump and dump them
like my girls
hey - I just don't care
Oh City Boy
Oooh you're scammin it now
Sweet City Boy
Oooh you're spammin it now
A cybercrime enforcer
trawlin through the net
hooked up with my web site -
'ooooh- a live one - I'll bet'
City boy
Who are you dealing with now?
Sweet city boy
Oooh you're feeling it now
I'm in my Rio villa
my millions are stashed away
and the girl from Ipanema
is about to make my day
City boy
Who are you dealing with now?
sweet city boy
ooh you're feeling it now
Well the moral of this story
If there is one to tell
Is who gives a damn for glory
Come on baby ring my bell
Oh City Boy
Who are you dealing with now?
Sweet City Boy
Yeah you're feeling it now
repeat chorus and end

(ABC) DKTOS, and never even heard of John Martyn. Looks like a sensitive guy, based on the google ads. What a great story (even though I'm not familiar with the stocks lingo), and smart to change the chorus each time!
(ABCW) I too am DKTOS but I have to agree with Agrimorfee. Lot of effort here.
(ABCW) Well, they say third time's the charm, right? Too bad, I DKTOS as well. What makes it worse is I don't even get it. Oh, well.
got my footsies in a twist
Does anybody know the original OS? I'm afraid I don't... or know what the heck it's about... but it looks like you put a lot of time into this, and that's what matter....
(ABC) So, planning to "vacation" on KINGMAN REEF, martha? LOL !!
ABCW - loved it Martha, esp. "and the girl from Ipanema is about to make my day" - it's scary that one man like Soros (being unelected and non-political) wields so much power - 555
(ABC05) Lots of good lines but "A cybercrime enforcer trawlin through the net hooked up with my web site - 'ooooh- a live one - I'll bet'" struck me as brilliant. 555
(ABC) Fraid I DKTOS either, Martha...but the rhyme schemes seem pretty straightforward, so 555. A great Gordon Gekkoish tale. Greed IS good..mwahahaha ;-)
(ABC) DKTOS, but it's a good read with many funny lines.
ABC: Also DKTOS, but enjoyed reading this
