Careful What You Wish For
The Genie in a bottle
Granted me these wishes three
For unleashing the cork
That set his spirit free
Awhile I thought and pondered
What will my first wish be
I said ...The ability to fly
He said...That's one of wishes three
The next on my agenda
Was wealth and luxury
I said...Surround me with riches
He said...That's two of wishes three
The final thing I asked for
And I think you'll all agree
I said...To die a happy man
He said...That's the last of wishes three
He then smiled a wicked smile
Tossed me as far as you can see
Landed headfirst in Fort Knox
Now I'm dead one, two, three
