The Wall Street Noise
(Spoken)
[SEBASTIAN]
If I'm not making money, then I’m losing money. If I'm losing money, you're losing your job and you’re all fired!
(Song)
[MACKENZIE/YOUNG JOAN]
From my corner in the mailroom
Under the ground I hear
[STOCKBROKERS]
The Wall Street noise!
[MACKENZIE/YOUNG JOAN]
It's a beautiful sound
Sorting letters getting older
Makin' minimum pay
While the brokers get richer
I could listen all day
[SEBASTIAN]
When you buy, it's the feelin'
Of a-jumpin' to the ceilin'
[STOCKBROKERS]
Buy the stock! Buy the stock! Buy the stock!
[SEBASTIAN]
Then martini time, boys
[MACKENZIE/YOUNG JOAN]
Will I ever be part of the Wall Street noise?
[SEBASTIAN]
It's a shimmy in the shoulders
Whеn you talk to the shareholders
[MACKENZIE/YOUNG JOAN]
Guiltlеss greed is one of life’s great joys
Maybe someday I’ll stomp in the Wall Street noise
Sell the stocks shareholders buy
Sell the stocks shareholders buy
Sell the stocks shareholders buy
(Spoken)
[CHRISTOPHER]
And as Joan rose through the ranks of the company, and her profits grew and grew, so did she!
[GLENN/ADULT JOAN]
Somebody get me portfolios on line four! I'll be in my corner office
[SEBASTIAN]
Sure thing, boss
(Song)
[GLENN/ADULT JOAN]
You do this, you do that
Fix that graph and get me stats
[STOCKBROKERS]
She’s a stockbroker deep down and dirty dealing
Got the checks, got the cash
[GLENN/ADULT JOAN]
And I'm smashing that glass ceiling!
[STOCKBROKERS]
Now she's part of that sound
[GLENN/ADULT JOAN]
And I've found my voice
[STOCKBROKERS]
As she’s making people millions
Screwing innocent civilians
With her fab flap and brilliance
In the Wall Street
[GLENN/ADULT JOAN]
Noise!
