Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Banks create loans but want to free up cash
Securitization helps them make that dash
Originator bundles loans together tight
Creates a package ready for the light
Special Purpose Vehicle takes the stage
Isolates the assets from the bank's cage
Transform illiquid loans to liquid gold
Securities that investors want to hold

[Chorus]
SPV takes the loans away
Tranching splits the risk today
Senior, mezzanine, subordinate
Credit enhancement makes it safe to take
Securitization, transformation
Turning loans to liquid sensation

[Verse 2]
Credit enhancement makes the deal more sweet
Subordination puts junior beneath
Overcollateralization adds more collateral
Excess spread provides a financialaterial
Surety bonds guarantee the payment flow
Making senior tranches safer as they go
Pass-through certificates send payments straight
CMOs control the timing and the rate

[Chorus]
SPV takes the loans away
Tranching splits the risk today
Senior, mezzanine, subordinate
Credit enhancement makes it safe to take
Securitization, transformation
Turning loans to liquid sensation

[Bridge]
Sequential pays in order, one by one
PAC tranches get protected from the run
Support tranches absorb prepayment shock
CPR measures how fast payments rock
SMM is monthly, PSA's the standard way
Auto loans and credit cards join the fray

[Verse 3]
Mortgage-backed securities lead the dance
Pass-throughs give investors payment chance
CDOs can be cash flow or synthetic
Real assets or just derivatives kinetic
Covered bonds stay on the balance sheet
Dual recourse makes the structure complete
Asset-backed securities diversify the game
Student loans and autos stake their claim

[Chorus]
SPV takes the loans away
Tranching splits the risk today
Senior, mezzanine, subordinate
Credit enhancement makes it safe to take
Securitization, transformation
Turning loans to liquid sensation

[Outro]
From origination to investor's hand
Securitization helps capital expand
Breaking down the barriers of illiquid debt
Creating markets where investors can bet
