What Riches To Have Untold
If I were a rich man I tell you what I'd do;
I would sleep all day and drink all night;
Til I was bored and could snore no more,
Then I would look to see if I could find me,
When I did I would climb in a bath and soak in cream til' I was clean,
I would piss away my money on everything not thinking about tomorrow
or even my family,
Maybe I would play the lottery hoping I wouldn't win,
Then I could try it all again,
I guess I would give some to the church then maybe I would find peace with god,
I would travel the world to see what I could see,
I would buy a yacht and sail around the world,
Then if I got bored I would sell the boat and go back to shore,
If wishes were horses then beggers would ride,
It is nice to think what I would do but when I open my eyes I realize,
I am who I am and that I can't lie,
I am broke and that is no joke!
