I Wish

---

I wish I had some money so I could go mad
Because when I'm skint, I'm ever so sad
Until I remember there's much more to life
Than scraping for money, trouble and strife
There's happiness, health, and a bed for the night
A roof, some food, although money's tight
A husband who loves me, a family who care
A lot of good friends all willing to share
My problems and heartaches, my ups and my downs
Then I count my blessings, and life turns around
I've treasures in plenty. a casket of jewels
So I really don't wish I'd won the pools
For money is gone, as fast as it's got
I'd rather just settle for my little lot.
