[Causus Deli]

Sink me

They seek him here, they seek him there
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.

[EternalOptimist]

I'd like to go to Bristol
I'd like to see the balloons
I'd like to see them roaring
and sillouhetted on the moon

I want to see them drifting
through the sunday morning mist
I'd like to see one soaring
and dip and rise and list

[AlfredJPruffock]

Do the Wall Street shuffle
Hear the money rustle
Watch the greenbacks tumble
Feel the Sterling crumble


You need a yen to make a mark
If you wanna make money
You need the luck to make a buck
If you wanna be Getty, Rothschild
You've gotta be cool on Wall Street



You've gotta be cool on Wall Street
When your index is low

Dow Jones ain't got time for the bums
They wind up on skid row with holes in their pockets
They plead with you, buddy can you spare the dime
But you ain't got the time


Oh, Howard Hughes
Did your money make you better?
Are you waiting for the hour
When you can screw me?
'Cos you're big enough

You buy and sell
You wheel and deal
But you're living on instinct

You get a tip
You follow it
And you make a big killing

Do the Wall Street Shuffle
If you sell your Mother
You can buy another
