Conflicts Of Interest
Sung to the tune
"Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief"

When a doctor doing drug research
Warns stockbrokers of a sudden breakthrough,
Will his hedge fund's financial advisor
Pass the good news on to you?

When a doctor consulting for Pfizer
Hears a new FDA "no-can-do"
Is about to descend,
And tells his analyst friend,
Will you find out any sooner than I do?

Should we warn anyone who's sick
Of the Research Doctor Wall Street shtick,
Where a few insiders get rich quick,
But not me, and not you?

Did you read in the New York Times
About how conflict of interest crimes
Might jack up some of Greenspan's primes
Because of what these doctors do?

Send the doctor back to his clinic,
Tell his lawyer we're gonna sue,
Advise what's his face
That we're on his case
Till the SEC follows through.

We say, "No, no, no,
No doctor should knowingly
Leak like Karl Rove likes to do
