Martha was a greedy swine, as she made het bouttioneers
sold her shares 'fore news came through
that the new drug's gone, and the value'sdown
damn all the F.D.A
well the next share trading day, as the storytellers say,
Imclone shares did one big slide,
across the trading floor, people lost their shirts with ease
some came back, persevered, some sold high

can you hear the call, the commission used to say,
they are gonna check you through
all investments in the land
must be done with spotless hands
and with much good integrity too

she was such a greedy swine, and despite the fact she knew
a million bucks she saved that day
hardly brings good news to the Martha Stewart name
when they claimed an inside trade
poor old Martha's looking gray, and now when she goes away
she will say this cannot be
for so many trades she's done, this was done illegally
her lawyer's cries, as she tries, apologies..

can you hear the call, the commission used to say,
they are gonna check you through
all investments in the land
must be done with spotless hands
for her life.
it's all bad.
pity she.
