The Lyrics
I dream Getty, J Paul Getty
And I eat gold spaghetti each night
I am richer
Than all wealthy men by just a smite
I'm a tycoon, jet to Cancun
On a sand dune, I pounce poon all day
I dream Getty,
And delight in great fantasy play
I'm a CEO with a wimpy staff
Reigning from an oak table throne
Flaunting rule all day,
Make a power play,
Hearing people say,
"Greatest man I've known!"
I am ruthless, I am cunning
Telling truth less..wherever I dash
Palm Beach sunning,
And for fun, I just toss away cash
*********
My analyst calls it a vent trick
I'm throwing my guilt to the sky
So rich, that I'm mega eccentric
To me, Oprah yells out,
Proud and loud,"You Go Guy!"
Could buy the whole world
As well as each sea
In Britain, I'm Earled,
Don Trump envys me..
Entitled to brag
Tho' I rarely boast
But that Fortune mag
Adores me the most..
I own Vegas,
All of Reno
I'm the "G" in
M-G-M casino..
My shirts have gold stitch
My shorts are mink lined
Each day I'm more rich
At least in my mind..
I dream Getty, J Paul Getty
When I'm petty, no one dares complain
Duck confetti,
Peasants fall all over me, like rain..
La la la la ...
Fifty bedrooms..in my mansion
All with headrooms..enough for giraffes
When I tell a..
Funny joke, I am guaranteed laughs
La la la la ...
Barking orders out at my butler, Jeeves
Fifty full time maids and a chef
Mirrors everyplace
Plastic surgeoned face
When I want a girl,
I just phone "Old Hef"
I'm an oil man, Prince of playtime
But I wake up each daytime, still poor
No more Getty,
All I have is just Getty's wonderful snore
All I have is J. Getty's wonderful snore..
And I eat gold spaghetti each night
I am richer
Than all wealthy men by just a smite
I'm a tycoon, jet to Cancun
On a sand dune, I pounce poon all day
I dream Getty,
And delight in great fantasy play
I'm a CEO with a wimpy staff
Reigning from an oak table throne
Flaunting rule all day,
Make a power play,
Hearing people say,
"Greatest man I've known!"
I am ruthless, I am cunning
Telling truth less..wherever I dash
Palm Beach sunning,
And for fun, I just toss away cash

Wish I could live that life! Creative use of OS!!!
This is rich! Right on the money! 555 billion! ;D
Getty up - Hi Ho silver and gold and platinum and diamonds and the like. I would probably enjoy his prosperity and life as being idly rich for about 9 months to a year but it must get to be awfully boring after awhile. Where's the challenge when you have all that clout and wealth? And you know what? He's broker than me now since he kicked off on June 6, 1976 since he couldn't take any with him. He stroked out with a coronary at 83 years of age. The claim was that he was the richest man in the world at the time of his death.
Clever write again Sir Farce - here - spend the three fives I'm givin' ya.

In fact he's so broke being dead that he can't even afford to pay attention.

M'lady have I offended you in some way? I have not seen your much anticipated comments grace the comments section of any of the scriptings I've published this week. I truly miss seeing your most interesting comments. :(
fun and breezy...you getty fives from me
... and sometimes, one would rather not know the reason why someone chose not to read one's work or works. ('sides, it still comes out like chastisement, regardless of how poetically phrased.) A word to the wise, and also to @MadameGetMo.
Sir . . . I don't know which Knight to address this to ? ? There are just sooo many parodies lately . . . I have such limited time, Sir . Right now I'm on my nephew's computer, whilst I wait for the cupCakes to bake for tonight's dinner party. Tally ho, sir .
