Too Much Money

I never was a poor young boy
and never could not eat
The middle station is the place
for comfort and for peace

By the river every year
the blazers come to play
and with their noses pointed up
drink their weight in fine champagne

I could not have asked for more
than my parents gave to us
I know that my integrity
is better off because

The richest people in this town
get that way by misering
The more you have the more you need
to buy your family things

But I could not have asked for more
than my parents could provide
If I had been a millionaire
I never would have tried
