|
Things worked out better than we had planned |
|
Capital from boy, woman and man |
|
We were like ink and paper |
|
Numbers on a calculator |
|
Knew arithmetic so well |
|
Working overtime completed what was assigned |
|
We had to multiply ourselves |
|
A bouncing little baby |
|
A shiny copper penny |
|
And he spent himself |
|
Would not listen to us |
|
But when he lost his appetite |
|
He lost his weight in friends |
|
Baby became a fat nickel so fast |
|
Then came puberty |
|
Exponentially |
|
Soon our boy became a million |
|
People loved him so |
|
And helped him to grow |
|
Everyone knew the thing that was best |
|
Of course, he must invest |
|
A penny won't do |
|
But he made us proud |
|
He made us rich |
|
But how were we to know |
|
He's counterfeit |
|
Now everything's ruined |
