The Dismemberment Plan Gets Rich

In early '95, well, we got the dough so we could diversify

Had a lot of money up in bioweapons which has low liquidity

Sold a lot of Krugerrands and rubles to a bunch of really weird Swiss guys

And we were rockin'

Took a little while but we finally got to get our groove on

We were running weapons to a Cuban in Miami that just kind of flaked on us

Then there was the time I called John Gotti up and I asked him if his fridge was running

Well, he can laugh about it now

We can laugh about it now!

oh oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Finally broke it open with the telecom and real estate in Asia

With a little luck we got fur markets in South America

Took a little longer with tin and amethyst in Zimbabwe

(a real old boys' network)

Got nine satellites in orbit, that helped coordination

Opened up affiliates in Nagasaki, Venice and Antananarivo

Joe got caught aboard a boat with seven tons of opium

In the Singapore harbor

Color us embarrassed!

oh oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Well, finally the year 2000 comes and the Plan is looking aces

Got that crib in the Alps and Jason did buy that helicopter

Gave a quarter mil to the soundman Phil so he could run for Senate

He lost in the primary

But we still love him!

Got a little tip about a ginger ale company from Canada

Getting run into the ground by a trust fund kid that thought he could write songs

Had a couple parties on his yacht and Eric kinda borrowed his girlfriend

It's gonna be a very good year

A very, very good year...

oh oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah, yeah -- the Dismemberment Plan gets rich!
