Sung to the tune of Bad Company's "Shooting Star".

“Dow the Shooting Star” – by Apologies to Bad Company

Hanky was a college boy when he heard his first Market Call,
‘Dow to 30000’, I think it was.
From there he vowed to make the big time someday,
Gonna be a Goldman Sachs partner, you could hear him say.
Got himself his MBA, studied day and night,
Made partner, and everything’s all right, don’t you know?

Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
And all the world will love you just as long,
As long as you are long.

Hanky told his GS partners, hey, ‘Mama, I’m goin’ away.
I’m gonna hit the big time, gonna be a star in DC someday’, Yeah.

Partners came to the door with teardrops in their eyes.
Hanky said, 'Don't cry, partners, smile and wave good-BUY'.

Don't you know, don't you know. Don't you know that you are
a shooting star, And all the world will love you just as long,
As long as you are long.

Hanky got 800 billion, from a taxpayer ream,
Joined an outfit, called Plunge Protection Team.
Sold a shit sandwich, called T.A.R.P,
Did it to bail out his partners, help his cronies in DC.

Taxpayers got screwed, Hanky got to play with lots of dough,
If you listen closely, you can hear the dollars blow.

Don't you know, don't you know.
Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
And all the world will love you just as long,
As long as you are long.

Hanky made a stock market record, just when the bull market was done,
Dow fell 5000 points in 365 days, but made it all back in just one.
Hanky tapped his $800b, from the taxpayer ream,
Courtesy of his Plunge Protection Team.

Don't you know, don't you know.
Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
And all the world will love you just as long,
As long as you are long.

Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast.
Hanky’s looked around him and said, 'Well, I made the big bull market last'.

Don't you know, don't you know.
Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
And all the world will love you just as long,
As long as you are long.

Stock market died one day, died in its bed,
Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by its head.
Hanky’s billions ran out, demand collapsed and boy did the markets tank,
his $800 billion went to zero, and so did his bank.

If you listen to the wind you can still hear him say:
Oh oh oh, Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
And all the world will love you just as long,
As long as you are long.

{Begin fade here}
Don't you know, yeah, don't you know', Don't you know that
you are a shooting star,
Don't you know, yeah,
Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Don't you, don't you,
don't you, don't you,
Don't you know, don't you
know, oh, yeah, you are,
Yeah, a shooting star, yeah, oh
oh oh oh oh......
Don't you, don't you know
that you are a shooting star,
Don't you don't you know......
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa…
whoa… whoa…whoa...
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa…
whoa… whoa…whoa...
stay out of the market, whew!
