Big money is coming my way
So the wise foretellers say
Don’t know how, nor do whence
But it does show a joyous ray!
Big money is coming very soon
From the planets or the moon
The good word has put a smile
On my lips; if true, a heaven’s boon!
Big money is just behind the bend
Perhaps some dead fathers send
My fate is so torn and tattered
Which soul would be willing to mend!
Thanks, O good sage, for rosy dream
You’ve made a mistake, me seem
Someone’s snatched my only cup
Top, bottom, side he licks the cream!
I’m a beggar poor on the roadside
Nailed to a spot, luck never to ride
Waiting for alms before me thrown
Let this day be good, may God abide!
