Gigantic Gifts

Pretend you are Janis Joplin. OK, Janis, hear yourself singing to the tune of Mercedes Benz as sung by you, Janis.
Gigantic Gifts Oh cash, won’t you give me large, financial gifts? Others all spend plenty, I need huge green lifts. Punched clocks during work life, just earned me short-shrift, So cash, won’t you give me large, financial gifts? Oh cash, won’t you make me your direct payee? Surely some millions have been endorsed straight to me. I wait for my treasure with no apology, So oh cash, won’t you make me your direct payee? Oh cash, won’t you buy me each desire I dream? I’m running on cents, cash, please send a thick ream. Show that you hear me by backing this scheme, Oh cash, won’t you buy me each desire I dream? All Who Want Cash! Oh cash, won’t you give us large, financial gifts? Others all spend plenty, we need huge green lifts. Punched clocks during work life, just earned us short-shrift, So cash, won’t you give us large, financial gifts? Song Done! heeeheeeheee ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Thank you, Cheryl. I am so curious to know if you heard my version in your head. I'm tone deaf so it worked for me! I'm sure many writers will submit more serious and challenging entries - mine is more humorous than anything. All the best ... CayCay
