KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE
lyrics by David Nixon and Rick Miller, copyright 2014.

You could say that I'm a stockbroker
Call me a stock-broker man
Cause every time I check my stocks I find I'm broker
than when I began
I need a partner who knows the ins and outs
I need somebody to eliminate the doubt
CHORUS:
Knowing Is Half the Battle
Let Us Fight That Battle For You
Give us the cash, wash your hands and be done
Half Brothers Brand Mutual Funds

I wanna play the market
without losing my shirt
I wanna get filthy rich
without touching any dirt
You could help me keep my conscience clear.
By not telling me anything I do not need to hear
CHORUS
And now, a sermon:
"My brothers and sisters I got to tell you about a man!
A good man. A family man! Who found out that he was invested in a company doing business with a dictator in Africa.
A man who found out he was invested in cutting down God’s own rainforest in the Amazon.
Invested in a company engaged in slave labor in Bangladesh!
MY brothers and sisters! If you invest in The Half Brothers Brand Mutual Fund we give you the Lord's good guarantee that you will never ever EVER find out that you’re invested in such atrocities."
(underscoring throughout) :
I won't ask if you don't tell
Just tell me to buy or sell.

Knowing Is Half the Battle
So Let Us Fight That Battle For You
Give us the cash, wash your hands and be done
Half Brothers Brand Mutual
We put the fun in Mutual Funds
