<pre>Yeah, was long ago
When I was a small fly
Bad kids would be tastin' me
They were so mean
that I almost wanted to cry
They'd stolen my books
And they stepped on my shoes
They thought it was really funny
They were calling me names
And I put up with it
But I knew there'd come a day
When I was strong enough


<pre> Yeah, was long ago
To make them all regret it
 When I was a small fly
I bet they all thought I'd just forget it
 Bad kids would be tastin' me
Now I'm a Wall Street Down-sizer
 They were so mean
And I can get my revenge on all of those guys
 that I almost wanted to cry
A corporation analyzer
 They'd stolen my books
And I will give everyone big surprise
 And they stepped on my shoes
'cause they will all be working for me
 They thought it was really funny
I'll make them beg for forgiveness
 They were calling me names
Down on their knees
 And I put up with it
 But I knew there'd come a day
 When I was strong enough


 To make them all regret it
***(talk)***
 I bet they all thought I'd just forget it
YO...LITTLE BUDDY BOY, WHAT'S THIS?
 Now I'm a Wall Street Down-sizer
SITTING DOWN ON THE JOB!!
 And I can get my revenge on all of those guys
I'm sorry Mr.Snorgywinkle.
 A corporation analyzer
I'll stand up right away sir,
 And I will give everyone big surprise
What...?on my tip toes?
 'cause they will all be working for me
Where are you putting that clamp?
 I'll make them beg for forgiveness
Not there!!
 Down on their knees
***(talk end)***


 ***(talk)***
Listen to the man...
 YO...LITTLE BUDDY BOY, WHAT'S THIS?
signs your paycheck
 SITTING DOWN ON THE JOB!!
You gotta go wash my car
 I'm sorry Mr.Snorgywinkle.
and clean my house
 I'll stand up right away sir,
And if you ever wanna have
 What...?on my tip toes?
another day of vacation
 Where are you putting that clamp?
You better make sure don't
 Not there!!
scratch up my guitar
 ***(talk end)***
(You're fired!)
Take another look at me just
Take another look at me just KAPOW!!
That's what I'll say if you don't get wise Hey Bully!
Take another look at me just
Take another look at me just


 Listen to the man...
I'm sooo tired
 signs your paycheck
Bye-bye!</pre>

Here's Wall Street down-sizer's comments<br>
"This is Wall Street in New York. I became powerful in this city, where I was bullied as a small fly. All the guys who bullied me when I was a small fly are currently my employees.<br>
I'll make them realize from now what kinds of mistakes they made... yes, revenge!"<br>
!!<br>
What kind of tragedy is this...!?
 
Thomas, a well-known Kansai-American in the GFDM series, has a chat, no, he wrote & sang these comic lyrics.<br>
Look forward to listening to this song to find out what kind of tragedy(?) this is.<br>
A hint is that a down-sizer is someone who lays off workers... <small>how scary.</small>

Mokky, if you're looking at this page under a distant sky, it's never too late to send us your replacement comments.<br>
This song was also well received by the pop'n staff, and we immediately decided to include it.<br>
Actually, the song selection loop in the pop'n 8 location test was created by borrowing this song's riffs. Hip hip hooray.<br>
The craftsman ucchie created these notecharts by hand. Personally, this is the most enjoyable chart in pop'n 8, including my own charts.<br>
(My second favorite chart is [[JET WORLD|jet world]], which was somehow also created by ucchie, damn it)<br>
When you're about to face recession or be laid off, let's play this song before starting karate.

Due to the overlapping changes in various specifications, circumstances, and songs to be included, this is the 2nd Sir Conga. I'm sorry to everyone on the MAMBO team for me having to create a strange 2P color. And it's nothing, but his body lines look like an enoki mushroom jar. → [https://web.archive.org/web/20150507150644im_/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/music8/music/img/cha_funk.gif]
 
The cactus leader and 2 gunmen appeared here together.<br>
I'd be happy if the animations' performance suits this song's cool and playful feeling.
