The Remarkable Sum

"The Remarkable Sum (of a Dollar Ninety-Five)" is a song from the 1967 featurette, Scrooge McDuck and Money. It is sung to a highland beat by Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey, and Louie when they gather in Scrooge's boardroom and simulate a board meeting. The song was written by Mel Leven.
==Lyrics==
Scrooge:
It behooves you when investing to investigate the facts
And you'll profit while digesting how a corporation acts
Let us takes a firm at random; for example, this one here
From the start of the second quarter to the end of the fiscal year
Oh, it's simple! Isn't it simple?
Yet, you have to understand it to survive
All the facts you must digest if you're thinking to invest
The remarkable sum of a dollar ninety-five
In the course of normal ventures, you'll observe a steady rise
And converting their debentures, they agreed to subsidize
Here, the "sinking fund" was voted and the averages prepared
And you'll note a revaluation when the dividend was declared
Huey:
Are these figures optimistic with the market selling short?
Dewey:
Please refer to the statistic in the annual report
Scrooge:
I perceive you're all acknowledging the fact you can't escape
That you never have seen a firm in a firmer financial shape
Huey, Dewey and Louie:
Oh, it's simple! Isn't it simple?
In the proper hands, your money is alive
Everyone:
All the facts you must digest if you're thinking to invest
The remarkable sum of a dollar ninety-five
