Bucket Shop Bessie
Halloween Bessie had a bucket shop.
Where people traded stocks without a stop
Some were fraudulent, made up and wild.
I’m here to say it was crazy, child.
Halloween Bessie had a black cat with a twitch.
This familiar went by the name of Mitch.
Sold stocks and bonds and sometimes made a switch
Swindling investors without a hitch
Halloween Bessie had a fast game in town
She tore around in a broom and a nightgown
Many lost money, but she was the queen.
Of the investment world on Halloween.
