"As I sat at the cafe, I said to myself,
They may talk as they please about what they call pelf,
They may sneer as they like about eating and drinking,
But help it I cannot, I cannot help thinking
How pleasant it is to have money, heigh ho!
How pleasant it is to have money." |

""There is no God," the wicked saith,
"And truly it's a blessing,
For what he might have done with us
It's better only guessing."" |
