I Want to Be So Rich
Anywhere you go these days
you can find someone who says
they want to be so rich
it ain't funny.
I think they all have it wrong,
all stuck on the same old song.
Why should having money
make one gloomy?
Money's not an anchor weight,
nor does it seal a sour fate.
It's what folks do with it
makes it dreary.
I'd want to go out and pour
cash where I could not before,
giving all the ways I've
always wanted.
I'd want to spend on my friends,
laugh until I get the bends,
getting mighty tickled
while I'm sharing.
I want so dang much money
that it's way more than funny.
I think let's go straight for
hilarious.
