I Can'T Believe I Keep Saying Stuff Like That

I Can’t Believe I Keep Saying Stuff Like That

By Elton Camp

I won’t have any trouble relating to the regular Joe
After all, I only have two hundred fifty million or so

Among the filthy rich, I am not even close to there
I’m only about one-fourth way to being a billionaire

NASCAR doesn’t really hold a lot of interest to me
But of couple of my friends own whole teams you see

Sometimes I forget & make some rather unwise cracks
Like saying that my wife drives a couple of Cadillacs

And when I said that it’s people that I like to fire
Looking back, I wish had, instead, substituted hire

But probably the worst that I have messed up yet
Was in offering to make a ten thousand buck bet

I mean not to speak of wealth, but can’t stick to it
Sometimes I wonder if it’s the devil made me do it

I surely do wish that to nobody it had occurred
That I am as rich as Thurston Howell the Third
