The Three Little Investors is a song that first debuted on the Chuck E's Rockin' Rhymes showtape.
The song is a parody of the fairy tale "The Three Little Pigs", with Jasper, Chuck E., and Pasqually serving as the three little investors, and Mr. Munch acting as the tax man.
Lyrics[]
Helen: Now once upon a fairy tale, in a market you can play
Three little investors struckin' rich, in a dot-com kind of way
Jasper: We made a fortune sellin' toys
On the internet you see
Pasqually: And my cyber-store sells hand cookware
I'm as happy as can be!
Chuck E.: I deliver pizzas, fast!
One click of a mouse (That's me!)
All: Looks like we've got a lot of dough
Let's party down the house!
Pasqually (giggles)
Jasper: Yeah!
(Guitar solo)
Jasper: Look out!
Yeah baby.. yeah!
Helen: Yeah-ah-ah...
The first little investor bought treats and toys
And partied, all day long
Jasper: Uh-oh, what's this? The cover's bare, and all my money's gone!
Helen: Poor little investor, he's flat broke
His fortune's gone away, his investments were a joke
Now the tax man's coming, with a big bad bill
That's someone's got to pay
Poor little investor
Munch: Investor, investor
Let me come in!
Jasper: Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!
Munch: Then I'll huff, and I'll puff
And I'll take this part of your house until we meet again!
Helen: The second little investor, bought junk bonds
And made some movies too
Pasqually: Mama mia, my bonds are in the trash
Now what am I gonna do?!
Helen: Poor little investor, the market's down
His money's gone away, and his statements made him frown
Now the tax man's coming, with a big bad bill
That someone's got to pay
Poor little investor
Munch: Investor, investor
Let me come in!
Pasqually: A-not a-by the hair of my a-chinny chin chin!
Munch: Then I'll huff, and I'll puff
And I'll take this part of your house until we meet again!
Helen: The third little investor diversified
And saved his hard earned cash
Chuck E.: Hehe.. I've got a long term strategy
To make my fortune last (Yeah!)
Helen: Wise little investor (Chuck E.: That's me!)
He saved his dough (Chuck E.: Yep, sure did! Hehe..)
Put in it a IRA (Chuck E.: I love those things!)
And he watched his money grow
Cause the tax man's coming (Chuck E.: Oh you know that's right.), with a big bad bill (Chuck E.: Yep, but I'll be ready!)
That someone's got to pay
Wise little investor
Munch: Investor, investor
Pay me today!
Chuck E.: Here's cash, and a tip
Now please go away
Munch: Then I'll huff, and I'll puff-
Chuck E.: Um-excuse me but I just payed you
Munch: Oh-uh, what about the tip?
Chuck E.: Oh yeah, stay out of chimneys they could be dangerous. (giggles) (Munch: Huh?)
Hey there kids, make sure you save your money, cause a little adds up over a long period of time. It's like Ben Franklin said, a penny saved is a penny earned!
Helen: Wise little investor (Chuck E.: Oh yeah!)
He saved his dough (Chuck E.: Ooh, I'm a good saver!)
Put in it a IRA (Chuck E.: Individual Retirement Account.)
And he watched his money grow
Cause the tax man's coming (Chuck E.: Oh yeah, the ol' IRS), he's comin', with a big bad bill
That someone's got to pay
Wise little investor
Ooh-ooh-woah-ooh-ooh...
