In early '95, well, we got the dough so we could diversify
|
Had a lot of money up in bioweapons which has low liquidity
|
Sold a lot of Krugerrands and rubles to a bunch of really weird Swiss guys
|
And we were rockin'
|
|
Took a little while but we finally got to get our groove on
|
We were running weapons to a Cuban in Miami that just kind of flaked on us
|
Then there was the time I called John Gotti up and I asked him if his fridge was running
|
Well, he can laugh about it now
|
We can laugh about it now!
|
|
oh oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
|
yeah, yeah, yeah...
|
|
Finally broke it open with the telecom and real estate in Asia
|
With a little luck we got fur markets in South America
|
Took a little longer with tin and amethyst in Zimbabwe
|
(a real old boys' network)
|
|
Got nine satellites in orbit, that helped coordination
|
Opened up affiliates in Nagasaki, Venice and Antananarivo
|
Joe got caught aboard a boat with seven tons of opium
|
In the Singapore harbor
|
Color us embarrassed!
|
|
oh oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
|
yeah, yeah, yeah...
|
|
Well, finally the year 2000 comes and the Plan is looking aces
|
Got that crib in the Alps and Jason did buy that helicopter
|
Gave a quarter mil to the soundman Phil so he could run for Senate
|
He lost in the primary
|
But we still love him!
|
|
Got a little tip about a ginger ale company from Canada
|
Getting run into the ground by a trust fund kid that thought he could write songs
|
Had a couple parties on his yacht and Eric kinda borrowed his girlfriend
|
It's gonna be a very good year
|
A very, very good year...
|
|
oh oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
|
yeah, yeah -- the Dismemberment Plan gets rich!
