Come listen to a story bout a man named Ted<br>
South Dakota boy whose neck was kinda red<br>
Had a hippie ponytail and his boots were rather large<br>
Went and set up a little bidness in his garage<br>
Gateway that is - direct sellin - customer service<br>
<br>
Well the first thing ya know ole Ted's a billionaire<br>
Wall Street said, "Ted, you've really got the flair-<br>
Sell em on the web and on the phone from shore to shore<br>
But never never never try to open up a storesquot;<br>
Nasty overhead - inventory nightmares<br>
<br>
Well the stock was doin fine, just movin right along<br>
Bubble floatin higher, Ted could do no wrong<br>
Market share was hummin, cow just waggin its tail<br>
And the fateful day arrived - Ted went retail<br>
Big cow spots - cute little outfits<br>
<br>
Well Ted stepped aside to spend some time on his new boat<br>
Called in some city slickers to keep the cow afloat<br>
Then pop went the weasel, the stock started to grind<br>
And the slickers, it was learned, were robbin him blind<br>
Greed
indeed.<br>
<br>
So he decided Californy was the place he hadda be<br>
But he kept most of the workers back home in Sioux City<br>

And quarter after quarter after quarter it was found<br>
That Dell and HP/Comaq were slappin Ted around.<br>
What to do, change in strategy, rebrand<br>
finbsp;<br>
The products weren't selling and the marketing was poor<br>
They were losin money each and every week in every store<br>
Board of directors gasped like they were coming down with asthma<br>
So Ted came along and said The Answer Is Plasma<br>
Big Ole Teevees, lower prices<br>
finbsp;<br>
So they started selling plasmas cameras games and MP3s<br>
Camcorders, stereos, DVDs and LCDs<br>
Folks got excited, anticipation getting high<br>
But when they saw the numbers all the Street could do was sigh<br>
Losses piled up, what to do<br>
<br>
So Ted bought off this Irvine company to step on in<br>
With a solid reputation for keeping costs thin<br>
Here they come, shareholders, and I'm telling ya now<br>
If you can't see it comin, the tail is gonna wag this cow. <br>
