(to the tune of “Holly Jolly Christmas”)
Have a holly jolly market
It’s the best one of the year
Dow is up, don’t press your luck
Two weeks are left in the year
Have a holly jolly market
Take your meetings on the Street
Tension’s low, and funds have dough
And bears are in retreat
Ho ho, the proxy show
Activists, you’ll see
Proposals wait for you
A frenzy’s ‘bout to be
Have a holly jolly market
And remember not to fear
Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly
Market this year
Have a holly jolly market
GDP is growing yet
Election’s done, Trump has won,
Offshoring’s a bad bet
Ho ho, the pay ratio
For shareholders to see
An outcry waits for you
Buy some stock for me
It’s a holly jolly market
And in case you didn’t hear
Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly
Market this year
