Remember Rusnak
How he was flying up that fast track
Til those forex options nearly broke the bank
but he stayed so cool
Just like Nick Leeson
sold all those options for the premium
That was the reason the reason
He took them all for fools

BRIDGE:

The SFA* said this ain't good enough
We will have try to show you how to beef it up
Your Senior management must sharpen up its act
You can't pass the buck and that's a fact

CHORUS:

you can't run away from liability
You've gotta try to understand your traders' strategies
Go back to school - get you an MSC
London Met .......it's the best
You know you won't regret it

Robert Citron
He bought all those CMOs with bells on
The Alan Greenspan hit him with a nasty little hike an unexpected spike
Two billion dollars down
Then there was Daiwa
And Sumintomo's Hamanaka
And don't forget County Natwest and good old Jo Jett
They all lost their bets

And the SEC said Golly Gee
You guys have really screwed up monumentally
It takes a billion dollar loss before you begin to see
Reality

Repeat chorus
