Hank Williams Jr.
Stock Market Blues
[Verse]
Hey Charlie Snob, could you make me some investments?
I want to get the hell outta here
I've ordered my Mercedes
I want to meet some classy ladies
And start drinking champagne instead of beer
Now I don't have much money
But we could work out something
I could send you 20 bucks a week
He said that's not how it works
And just what is your net worth?
I said my net worth is what I got on me
So I called up my mother in law
Told her about the add I saw
Guaranteeing a fortune to be made
I said I need a hundred thou
Cause we have got to jump in now
We'll make a bunch and split it up 2 ways
So I met her down at the bank
Grabbed the check and then I ran
As fast as I could to the store
Now here's all the money
So pick some winner sunny
And call me up when we make the big score
Well I saw it on the evening news
That stock market really had the blues
And when it closed it set an all time low
I wondered where did I go wrong?
Why did this happen to me lord?
I've got to get that money back, you know?
Well I just sat there and wondered why
I was going to buy low and sell it high
But things sure didn't work out that way
I don't know what I'm going to do
And to tell you all the truth
I think I've lost my assets today
Hey broker man, please don't make no more investments
Cause I would like to keep my short and pants
Cancel that Mercedes, I'm going back to the old lady
In Little Rock instead of Paris, France
Oh, I'll never play that game again
I think you all saw me coming friend
And I jumped right in like a big fool
[Chorus] [x2]
Oh I thought I'd make some money
But it's really kind of funny
Cause I borrowed all of it from you know who
[Outro]
Yes mother in law, I'm checking on it right now
