Things worked out better than we had planned
Capital from boy, woman and man.
We were like ink and paper

Numbers on a calculator
Knew arithmetic so well

Working overtime

Completed what was assigned

We had to multiply ourselves



A bouncing little baby

A shiny copper penny



And he spent himself

Would not listen to us

But when he lost his appetite

He lost his weight in friends



Baby became a fat nickel so fast

Then came puberty

Exponentially

Soon our boy became a million



People loved him so

And helped him to grow

Everyone knew the thing that was best

Of course, he must invest



A penny won't do



But he made us proud

He made us rich

But how were we to know

He's counterfeit



Now everything's ruined
