Small Print
Did you not read it? The small print!
You really must have done.
It was prepared long ago by our English legal team,
They wrote it for just this state of affairs
And not purely out of fun.
It's really rather good,
So I'm told.
The market and not my team is to blame,
And while I regret the level of your losses,
You should realise that you too, are not free from that shame,
I'm sure you'll find it all in the small print.
We go to great lengths to find and train our personnel,
They must be prepared to take great risks with other peoples money,
In pursuit of that ever elusive profit.
Ruthless, aggressive and aquisative,
That's our corporate image,
The investor wouldn't want it any other way.
The stress is enormous, as you can well imagine,
That's why we pay so well!
In light of the recent work level,
We'll have to raise the bonus.
So please, read the small print once more!
In fact, I'd appreciate it, if you would read it to me.
We don't wear glasses here.
It wouldn't fit in with our corporate image.
So I read to him the small print,
Prepared long ago by an English legal team,
And with the memory of it, still fresh,
I took my pound of flesh!
