Man of Means
When I was young, my pa said son
It's time to build the dream
Send away for the 'Frisco Bay
And rake that do-re-mi
There are fortunes to be made
But boy that living don't come cheap
So sink your time and you might find
The bounties that you seek
I took on every word he said
And found that I agreed
So I strapped my belt one notch too tight
And dusted both my knees
Greased my elbows inside out
Whipped 'round to face the breeze
And I worked around the clock
For everything that I might need
Now I've got a house right on the harbor
It's got a swimming pool out back
I've heard it's quite relaxing
I can't wait to take a splash
But I clock it in to satiate desires that I feed
I am a man of means
I've got a cherry Harley-Davidson
Silver, chrome and black
I took it for a spin one time
It hasn't nary a scratch
But I still recall the wind in my hair
As I made that engine scream
I am a man of means
Now I stand before you, old and grey
Accomplished all my dreams
I've got boats and trucks and jet skis
Nearly bursting out the seams
Spick and span, they're just like new
I'll sell them to you cheap
For I'm a man of means
It's time to build the dream
Send away for the 'Frisco Bay
And rake that do-re-mi
There are fortunes to be made
But boy that living don't come cheap
So sink your time and you might find
The bounties that you seek
I took on every word he said
And found that I agreed
So I strapped my belt one notch too tight
And dusted both my knees
Greased my elbows inside out
Whipped 'round to face the breeze
And I worked around the clock
For everything that I might need
Now I've got a house right on the harbor
It's got a swimming pool out back
I've heard it's quite relaxing
I can't wait to take a splash
But I clock it in to satiate desires that I feed
I am a man of means
I've got a cherry Harley-Davidson
Silver, chrome and black
I took it for a spin one time
It hasn't nary a scratch
But I still recall the wind in my hair
As I made that engine scream
I am a man of means
Now I stand before you, old and grey
Accomplished all my dreams
I've got boats and trucks and jet skis
Nearly bursting out the seams
Spick and span, they're just like new
I'll sell them to you cheap
For I'm a man of means
