Edgar Guest - The Rich Man’s Woes
Work rating: Low

HE `S worth a million dollars and you think he should be glad,
Because you want for money you believe he can`t be sad;
His name is in the papers nearly every day or so,
If he wants a trip to Europe he can pack his grip and go, 
But he`s really heavy-hearted and he often wears a frown,
For his daughter contradicts him and his new wife calls him down.

He`s not dunned by bill collectors, and he doesn`t have to fret 
Though the cost of living`s soaring; what he wants he`s sure to get. 
He can order from his tailor three or four suits at a time, 
And he tips the waiters dollars where another tips a dime;
But he really isn`t happy as he motors round the town, 
For his daughter contradicts him and his new wife calls him down.

O, it`s folly to sit yearning for another fellow`s lot, 
For he`s sure to have some worries that perhaps afflict you not;
And it`s folly now to wish for any other fellow`s place, 
For it`s certain he has troubles that would make you
sour of face; And the man who `s worth a million maybe wants to be a clown
When his daughter contradicts him and his new wife calls him down.
