How Gullible Can You Get

That old gullible Gulliver Gold

Would believe anything he was told

It would turn to champagne 

Catching drops in the rain

But all he caught was a nasty cold 


Then we told him to try it again 

Said this time it would turn into gin

In a steady downpour 

His throat got really sore 

And grew incredibly pale and thin


When he got well we thought we would say

Fame and fortune was coming his way 

They would crown him the King

If he drank gasoline 

So now they'll lay him to rest today

Thanks Arthur, you know what they say. A smile a day keeps the blues away.
