Brokers in the night
Exchanging stock tips
Wondering in the night
What were the chances
They’d still have a job
Before the year was through
Something in their eyes
Was so suspicious
Something in their smile
Was so malicious
Something in my heart
Told me, “stay far away”
Brokers in the night
Two lonely con-men
They were brokers in the night
Up to the moment when I placed my first order
Little did I know
The scam was just a glance away, a sneaky, conniving glance away
and
Ever since that night
They’ve been in prison
Convicts at first grade, in jail forever
It turned out so wrong
For brokers in the night
[instrumental]
The scam was just a glance away, a sneaky conniving glance away
and
Ever since that night
They’ve been in prison
Convicts at first grade, in jail forever
It turned out so wrong for brokers in the night
Dooby dooby doo…
