lyrics

Invest in me, I will return
Don’t overdraft, you might get burned
The more we save and squirrel away
No bear can wreck what our bull made

The market flows, up and down
But over time, more smiles than frowns
You love me so some hate is fine
You know I really love you
That’s the bottom line
You know I really love you
That's the bottom line

It’s not a shell game, the books aren’t fixed
Numbers in columns that I - I did not twist
The income is real, the cash is on hand
With gold to back it up, I supply your demands

The market flows up and down
But over time more smiles than frowns
You love me so some hate is fine
You know I really love you
And that’s the bottom line
You know I really love you
That's the bottom line
You know I really love you...
That's the bottom line

Exercise stock options, check out interest rates
I know you’ll come back to me like a rebate
I am solid like a US government bond
Maybe today you left but you’re not really gone
You're not really gone

Invest in me, I will return
Don't overdraft - you might get burned
The more we save, and squirrel away
No bear can wreck what our bull made
No bear can wreck what our bull made

The market flows up and down
But over time, more smiles than frowns
You say you love me, so some hate is fine
You know I really love you
And that’s the bottom line
You know I really love you
That's the bottom line
