I looked like a fool in this morning's board meeting
Because of this dude we rearranged the seating
I needed a man, one who was cool, who was slick
So I walked up to this fellow and I said, "Hey, Dick
I need your help with a certain kind of guy
I came straight to you cause you're so fly
You gotta make him look like a horse's petute
And every point he makes to the board must be made moot"
So dick went in and started to yell
Every VP's seat had pretty much fell
He made the dude look like a fool
All the board members had started to drool
He turned to me, winked, and was on his way
As long as I live, I won't forget that day
He has an attitude just like Charles Manson
So don't mess with him cause his name's Dick Cranston
He's a madman, Dick. Get out of his face
Or he'll beat you all down with his brown briefcase
I thought my dad was cool in his suit and tie
But that was before I met this fly guy
He's the rudest business man you're ever gonna see
He walks into his office and says: don't mess with me
The king of the board, a corporate raider
He's a suit and tie guy, man, and a junk bond hater
He kills all the weak that are in his way
Forty six people died last payday
Because he comes in the room and people run in fear
And the buildings that surround him all quake when he comes near
And when my father died in the board meeting
I looked at him in awe with no hard feelings
Dad was overmatched, he had no power
Dick smashed him down in less than an hour
He has an attitude just like Charles Manson
So don't mess with him, his name's Dick Cranston
He's a madman, Dick. Get out of his face
Or he'll beat you all down with his brown briefcase
