Private equity
Some ride it' s been
You can feel the glee
As they cash in

First came Fortress, soon Apollo too
Carlyle Group is sure to follow too
Selling the shop
This must be the top

At these multiples
Schwarzman can see
Blackstone should belong
To you and me
Otherwise then why the heck would he
Sell the public public equity
In his own big private equity zoo

Private equity
Those guys do well
Tell me why I’d buy
When they all sell

Fortress Group was no anomaly
Watch for KKR and Tommy Lee
Is there a doubt
They’d love to cash out?

Thank you but no thanks
I’ll take a pass
But guess who's gonna take
It up the ass?
Retail Joes who bought technology
Just before it met with gravity
They’ll be buying private equity, too
