The time has come 
 Not to be cautious 
 He must be careful not to make mistakes 
 For every half hour In twenty-fourAnd operations rose
 Faster than they did yesterday
 And the lending rates on your side
 So there won't be
 Much of a problem 
 Then past midnight
 There is a rise
 When everybody's asleep at home
 He becomes nervous
 And sees a change
 Today futures
 Watch the markets from the streetIn a pocket in a grey flannel suit
 Read tomorrow's crash today
 And check your pulse
 Base metals crawled onto the kerb
 And softs dropped in a summer turn
 And sugar melted in the mouth
 Of a rude girlWho knew a better option
 She thinks for a while
 And it could be
 A long time before he thinks again
 And then he looks at the papers
 And looks againToday futures
