Bear Stearns Chase
Being sung by Chase Manhattan employees to the Lennon-McCartney song
"Yesterday"
(Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away)

No disgrace,
We were renamed J.P. Morgan Chase,
But our newest CEO's named 'Ace'
And we're now known as Bear Stearns Chase.

Suddenly,
Our firm's changed from what it used to be.
With the help of Bushie's coterie
We're losers like his GOP.

Why J.P. had to go we don't know,
Bush couldn't say.
Our firm yearns for the pre-Bear Stearns
Of yesterday.

Yesterday,
Usury was such a simple game to play.
Securitizing debt was not our way.
Our shills made sure our prey could pay.
Oh, how we long
For yesterday.
