Ménage à Trois Paulson, AIG and Goldman Paulson in cahoots with Goldman? You've got to be kidding. Who would dare imagine that he'd do Blankfein's bidding? How many years can it have been since old Hank labored there? How many would remember a measly multi-millionaire Who'd help them take out Bear Sterns, then do Lehman in? Gone and long forgotten, it's been sev'ral years at least. Lloyd, their current CEO's a wilder wildebeest, Taking on more leverage and risking getting fleeced, But knowing who to turn to to keep his options greased, If first they took out Bear Sterns, then did Lehman in. Lloyd bought Credit Default Swaps. Did Paulson say he should Despite the likelihood that AIG could not make good? Maybe 'yes' and maybe 'no', but what we know for sure Is when the bad stuff hit the fan, Lloyd loved l'affaire d'amour, As first they took out Bear Sterns, then did Lehman in. AIG paid Lloyd in full with our taxpayer dollars. Was Goldman Capistrano to the Fed and Paulson's swallers? Was bringing home the bacon Paulson's mission all along: Get rid of Fuld and Lehman; sell Bears Sterns for a song? 'Cause first they took out Bear Sterns, then did Lehman in. If buddies can't be counted on to bend the rules a bit, Would Blankfein's Bonus Babies throw a town hall hissy fit? Their competition's disappeared. Now Goldman's in like Flynn. For Paulson helped take out Bear Sterns, then did Lehman in.
