Precious Rainbow

A rainbow comes but once
it's rained

And at the meeting point where it's prism rays of coloured light 
penetrate the earth crust

If one is to believe in fairytales a 
pot of gold awaits just waiting
to be discovered

So yee of faith true believers
grab a shovel grab a spade and
help and join me in my quest
for said treasure

We're all friend's here all for
one and one for all

And if we are to strike it lucky
and make a worthwhile find 
i promise i'll look after you
and you will get a fair share

Safe in the knowledge quite
well knowing should this eventuality ever happen 

All bets are off , sorry what promise,
show me a signature or a contract
or word's to that effect

And now that i have found it it's mine
all mine 

And heaven help anybody who
tries to seperate me 

From my precious

Go and find your own rainbow

It's bound to rain again sometime
soon and if not i suggest you go and
do a rain-dance

Because i am certainly not sharing
and who needs friends anyway

I'm rich , i'm rich and if i need a friend
i can buy as many as i want
