Sleigh Ride

SLEIGH RIDE

Written with foxy cunning there’s a proxy coming to your

Come on it’s lovely weather for a merger together with you

Come on and take your chances as we enhance your value

And join in last year’s sequel to a merger of equals it’s true

Come along, come along, come along you hoard

And vote like the board.

They’re thinking of your interests, that’s assured.

Come along, come along ‘cause it will be nice.

Just look at the price.

This merger just has to go through

So it’s better if you vote twice

We have happy employees until they find they’re laid off

But that’s how we’re affording

The execs and the board we paid off.

Let’s take the road before us and sing a chorus or two

Come on it’s lovely weather for a merger together with you.

There’s a closing party at the home of Sandy Weill

With a couple bottles in the orchard, and a smile

We’ve been gaining so much momentum

That this merger train can’t stop.

And the stock will rise as we watch our headcount drop.

Drop Drop Drop!

It’s a funny feeling when we take some of the cream

Of our people and we ship them off to meet Drake Beam.

While the rest of us send out calendars by Currier & Ives.

At least we’re keeping the name

We’ll remember all through our lives.

It’s now a year behind us and you can find us still here.

With public bonds and trading parading to Greenwich next year.

Let’s maintain our existence and keep the distance as two.

‘Til they say “Lovely weather for a merger together with you.”

It’s lovely weather for a merger together with you.
