| I tripped over bum on sidewalk
And fell upon the ground And right there before me A lottery ticket found Won a hundred million in the draw Now I'n happy as can be Thanks to my misfortune I'm in the lap of luxury | |
| That bum upon the ground is me
And Im terribly broke and down you see, So howbout lettin me have a shake And see how much falls from your money tree? | |
| I went back to the corner
And found the bum still there I slipped him a million dollars I thought it was only fair For if I hadn't trip on him No money would there be Be on your way now young man And grow your own money tr | |
| The bum, the money he took
picked himself up from the sidewalk a money tree he did not his fortune....the pet rock | |
| I heard the bum had did real good
Invested money like he should And used his humor sharp and clean To stone some folks and pluck their green | |
| I took some money...a million and three
And bought microsoft at a dollar three And the stock shot up 500 percent Giving back even more than I originally spent | |
| Money came, money went,
I bought a wife, Money well spent, Bought a house, had kids, a car, my, my how money had bought me far. | |
| In order to hold onto what I got
I've had to be real mean Bought a racehorse, he just can't lose He's the best you've ever seen | |
| I'll send him over to Oz I think
To win the Melbourne Cup And pasture him near Kerry Packer When his racing days are up | |
| The Horses name is 'Just born Lucky'
I think it fits quite well But I'l name him 'Bum on sidewalk' Hang on that rings a bell! | |
| I'm now known for my benevolence
Given away fortunes more than once And always cae out on top you see I've been as lucky as can be | |
| But money isn't everything
There's love and friendship too And I've bought plenty of that Just for something else to do | |
| My newly bought frinds and lovers
All said I'd someday bite the dust But so far I've been lucky I'll go win some more, I must, I must | |
| me im luckey i'll tell you true
i'm so luckey how bout you i've won it all through and through given alot to the charitys and win more just like that | |
| Decided to throw the pair of bones
A million dollars at a throw The first one was a seven They yelled...Hey way to go | |
| I threw and threw and threw so more
I made point every time By the time I quit that night 40 billion dollars now was mine | |
| So I headed for the card tables
I put it ALL on just one play I was dealt royal flush I've owned Las Vegas since that day | |
| But now I have to push
Myself up from off my butt It's getting a little dreary Making all this 'hard earned' dough Is making me quite weary!! | |
| But someone has to do the job
Of making all this money It's all made round to go around I think it's rather funny | |
| It's Melbourne Cup next Tuesday
To win it is a must I'm off to Oz tomorrow 'Bum on Sidewalk' in him I trust | |
| I placed a hundred million
On 'Bum' to win the race For he reminded me of someone In some far off place | |
| A long shot he was at 3oo to one
He hadn't won a race in years But he won it, just by a nose I almost broke down in tears | |
| I bought him from the owner
And put him out for stud He was treated like royalty Even had beauty baths of mud |
