about

Written in 1991 and recorded in 2022, this is another that sat around 'til 2022. It's also another where my sense of humor steps out to say 'hey!'. I changed the lyrics before re-recording it to update it. Patrick Swayze was in the original, and my wife and Catwoman get to make an appearance in this one. So now, all is right with the world. Catch the lyric video for it here: youtu.be/GY17GMCDcxk

lyrics

Well I wished I was a Beatle
I'd have even been a Stone
I wished I had a limo
With a bar and telephone

I'd ride around in back
Tell the drive where to go
My sexy wife would ride along
Cuz I'd have tinted windows

Well I wanna be rich
Have the money to burn
I wanna be that guy that says
"This meeting's adjourned!"

The King of the hill
The Commander in Chief
It's about time I turned a new leaf

I wanna be rich I don't wanna be poor
I wanna drive a Porsche
And own the keys to the door
I want my own yacht
With an all girl crew
Sounds great to me

Well, how's about you?
How's about you
How's about you
How's about you
How's about you

Well, I wish that I was Cruise
Or even Tom Hanks
Wouldn't be Kanye
Cuz that guy stanks

I'd roll all around
In my piles of cash
And when that was gone
I'd go to the stash

I wanna be rich I don't wanna be poor
I wanna drive a Porsche
And own the keys to the door
I want my own yacht
With an all girl crew
Sounds great to me

Well, how's about you?
How's about you
How's about you
How's about you
How's about you

Now how many times
have you been sittin' around the house
And you say man, if I had the cash
I would do this
I would to that
I'd do the other thing

Man, if I had the money
I would buy a house with a pool
And I'd get a car
And I'd dress my wife up

In a Catwoman suit

Yeah, if I had the money
I'd buy a yacht
I'd buy a bunch of horses
Records, stereos, guitars
You name it, I'd buy it

Work?
No way
No Work
I'm too poor
I'm too poor
I'm too poor
I'm too poor
Well, how's about you?
How's about you?
How's about you?
How's about you?
