A Tale of the Ticker--Frank Crumit (1929)

The stock exchange is a funny place,
It's the strangest place in town.
The seats cost half a million cash,
But the brokers won't sit down.

There's the broker, the bull and the bear,
It's queer, but it's not a joke,
For you get the bull till your bankroll's bare,
And the broker says, "you're broke."

I was wondering, so I looked it up...that song was recorded about a month before the crash.

My favorite Crumit song is "I Learned About Women From Her".
