| One way to be very happy is to be very rich |
| For then you can buy orchids by the quire and bacon by the flitch. |
| And yet at the same time People don’t mind if you only tip them a
dime, |
| Because it’s very funny |
| But somehow if you’re rich enough you can get away with spending |
| water like money |
| While if you’re not rich you can spend in one evening your salary
for |
| the year |
| And everybody will just stand around and jeer. |
| If you are rich you don’t have to think twice about buying a judge
or a |
| horse, |
| Or a lower instead of an upper, or a new suit, or a divorce, |
| And you never have to say When, |
| And you can sleep every morning until nine or ten, |
|
| All of which |
| Explains why I should like very, very much to be very, very rich. |
