I'm E-Trade's TV star,
my trades way over par.
Stay current on the Dow.
I've gotta go right now...
Read news upon the throne,
spine-chilling to the bone.
Big corporations tank,
no money in the bank.
The Market's down today,
life savings slip away.
More poor retirees screwed --
Yahoo! At last I pooed!
From hopper I'll undock.
One click from buying stock,
Butt gotta go again --
crap business never ends ...
