Walkin’ on Wall Street

Lyrics

[Intro] [Newsboy] Extra! Extra! Latest Wall Street prices! [Lester] Here's a quarter. Keep the change! [Verse 1: Lester] You got to be cool When you're walking on Wall Street Like going to school You learn a lot every day And this is the rule When you're walking on Wall Street Buy low, sell high Take a piece of the pie That's the Wall Street way When you use your money to make more money, that's called an investment. When you invest in a corporation, that means you own your own share of it The companies that manufacture things we use Like telescopes and videos and high-top shoes Are looking for investors such as me and you So we can own shares in the company too That's called "stock." Smart investors look to buy stock in a company that's going up in value Here's a stock that's looking mighty good, I think Whiz Bang Cola - that's my favorite drink Looks as if their sales are going up sky high Better call my broker and tell him to buy [Lester] Hello, Leroy? This is Lester the investor. Whiz Bang Cola's going up. Buy some stock for me! [Leroy] OK, Lester! Confirming your order: buy Whiz Bang Cola at eight and a quarter [Lester] All right! [Verse 2] You got to be smart When you're walking on Wall Street So just for a start I check the paper each day First, I read the comics Then I check the sports And then I take a look at the market reports To see if my stock is riding low or high So I know when to sell, and I know when to buy [Lester] Oh, oh! Here's a dime. Keep the change. Stock prices go up and down so smart investors like me buy a little at a time every month. That way, we can watch the ups and downs average out in the long run. Leroy calls that "dollar cost averaging." I don't want to get hurt When I'm walking on Wall Street I could lose my shirt Not to mention my cash So I stay alert When I'm walking on Wall Street Buy low, sell high Take my piece of the pie [Newsboy] Read all about it! Latest Wall Street flash: Whiz Bang Cola is on the rise! [Verse 3] Well, I came out ahead And I'm swinging on Wall Street And just like I said I'm learning more every day So remember the rule When you're walking on Wall Street Buy low, sell high Take your piece of the pie Here's a dollar. Keep the change That's the Wall Street way
