My Entry in the Sage Song Contest, from Rocky Humbert
Ed.: The contest features a prize of 500 bucks to the person who composes the best lyrics to "on the street where you live " relative to the sage. The winning song to be performed live at a future Spec Party.
(Note: Mr. Humbert's song should be sung to "on the street where you live" in the style of Dean Martin.)
Ben Graham taught me well — how to buy, not sell
When there’s opportunity - they don’t ring a bell
When my stocks go down, I buy more, not frown;
I tap dance to the job that I love.
When the bankers fax, they may get the axe
Just buy the whole darn thing — others pay the tax
Munger says I’m wrong – railroad’s my torch song;
I tap dance to the job that I love.
When the tide goes out, I don’t need a boat
I’ve got sixty billion bucks – all in excess float
I sold too-many puts, yet Berkshire ’s not caput
‘cause I tap dance to the job that I love.
Since we joined the S&P, I spend more time on TV
Becky orders me a Coke (I don’t drink iced tea).
I wear expensive suits, while talking pure grassroots
I tap dance to the job that I love.
Bill Gates called to say – I should give it all away
There's an envelope for The Board, if I die one day
I ask other billionaires, for checks to my affair
I tap dance to the job that I love.
