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
