It started sixteen years ago
(With hey, ho, hey what’s new?)
And looms stranger every year
(Where’ve you been Norman Hsu?)
A Wharton grad, no dummy he–
(Ho, hey, oh to be free!)
He’s “earned” stupendous wealth so far
(Hey, ho, quite wittily.)
Yet no one seems to know just how
(What’s your game Norman Hsu?)
And what’s the role of Sus and Paws?
(Tell us—what do you do?)
You’re good at bilking, this we know
(Hey, ho, greed can be milked)
We caught you, but you didn’t show!
(Ho, hey, court system bilked.)
Why bundle for the Democrats?
(Risking all Norman Hsu?)
What can those politicians do?
(How help you Norman Hsu?)
Why post two million bucks in bail?
(Hey, ho, gotta get gone!)
Have you no stomach for our jail?
(Ho, hey, off to Taiwan?)
The best laid schemes, one poet said
(Ho, hey, the flesh is weak)
Gang oft agley, left you abed!
(Hey, ho, what pills can wreak!)
Looks like you’re cooked, old Norman Hsu
(Hey, ho, justice at last)
There’s nothing Democrats can do—
(Ho, hey, your life’s recast!)
They’ve all clamed up, your lawyers too.
(Hey, ho, poor Norman Hsu.)
They say you’re incoherent, stressed.
(Ho, hey, what can we do?)
Alas, the game is up old Hsu
(Hey, ho, the ponzi’s through!)
And all the Democrat’s can say
Is, hey, old Norman—shoo!
