A King's Ransom We'd Spent

     Went to school, got good grades
         a decent lawyer, I made

     Met a girl, saved some dough 
        She was my bride, I her beaux

     Three little girls nearly broke the bank
        retirement loomed 
                 Was anything left in the tank

     A king’s ransom we’d spent
         What had it all meant

    The forced smiles, the countless deceptions
         ~ Was any of it worth a single damn cent
