The Lyrics

Stocks around the world have been hammered hard lately, with many major indices at levels not seen for several years. Maybe the news of WorldCom's bankruptcy, and major banks including Citigroup helping Enron hide loans as revenue has something to do with it. We say the best cure is having some CEOs wear a new color: namely, orange.
Over hill, over dale, stocks are in a big fire sale
And the market keeps crashing along.
Down and out, it's wacked out, it's a rout, we're knocked out
And the market keeps crashing along.

Then it's "Hi, hi, hee!" investors all want to flee
Wall Street, it's crashing, ain't so strong
And where-e'er you go, you will always know
That the market keeps crashing along.

The NASDAQ, the Dow Jones, want to cry and want to moan
See the market keep crashing along.
What to do, we don't know, stocks are at all-time lows
And the market keeps crashing along.

Then it's "Hi, hi, hee!" it's a big catastrophe
This mess, it's so long and prolonged
And where-e'er you go, you will always know
That the market keeps crashing along.

Markets fall, day and night, will things ever be all right
And the market keeps crashing along.
C-E-Os, soon in jail, maybe that'll end this tale
And the market keeps crashing along.

Then it's "Hi, hi, hee!" it's a big calamity
Our stocks, now they don't seem so strong
But where-e'er you go, you will always know
That the market keeps crashing along.
That the market keeps crashing along.

(Repeat until fade)
