Fabrice 'Fabulous Fab' Tourre
Accused Goldman Sachs V.P. genius joins
Ethel Waters in her rendition of
"Am I Blue?"

I'd been a trader, a Wall Street trader,
To whom merely trading was a bore –
A bit more needy, a bit more greedy,
Not satisfied with tending store.

And then one morning in came John Paulson,
A hedge fund guy good fortune falls on,
Like Sleeping Beauties who rate at Moodys,
He had courted before.

In no time at all, me and Jon Egol
Insured and sold the Paulson picks,
So he and we could bet against 'em
And make the score that John planned for.

What'd I do? Wish I knew.
All my peers say they, too, lack a clue.
Feeling blue? Wouldn't you,
If some man with a plan snookered you?

Is it a crime to sell bum CDOs,
When, at the time, you don't know haricots?

Did it pay? Yeah, till today –
Now John's on
To something new
And I'm through.
