| Parody Song Title: | "Free Falling (The Bear Stearns Share Price)" |
| Parody Written by: | Phil Alexander |
It's a big bank, for investments
Was America's number five
Now it's been bought, bought by a rival
Only way, for it to survive
And it's a long day, watching them burnin'
There’s a fire sale, hittin' banking stocks
Their ass ain't covered, so they got a bare stern, an'
And the share price.. is tumblin'
Shares are free, free falling.
Yeah they're free, free falling.
And all the vampires wantin' the company
'Cause the pickings look good today
But all the bad boys have got out with their profits
And shareholders.. are left with sweet FA
Shares are free, free falling.
Yeah they're free, free falling.
As the shares slide down to a dollar
Not many vultures left in the race
Yes the shares free fall out into nothin',
There's only JP Morgan in the chase
Shares are free, free falling.
Yeah they're free, free falling.

I've followed this story, Phil. Losing 99% of your net value in two weeks is akin to a hardcore Vegas gambler type meltdown. I didn't get the "FA" part though...
Red Ant - FA = **** all (i.e. pretty much nothing).. looks like nobody got the "bare stern" gag.. (or the JP Morgan chase one.. sigh)
Sir Phil, Le ~Marquis o'Down Udder~, here in NorCAL housing prices are dropping! What was 790k last summer now stands empty for an asking price 500k !
