The weather report has one hitch: It never rains on the rich Your water balloon will always miss Their lips are dry when they kiss In a flood they float yachts In the nose, no snots When huddled masses lose all slammed by tsunami The rich on high ground donate salami Point a hose at a rich woman, she will point you to jail (and you will go there without fail) Their roof never leaks Their grass has no dew The toilet won’t clog with their poo The rich man is one lucky fella A poor man like me will hold his umbrella

Rich People Never Get Wet
The weather report has one hitch: It never rains on the rich Your water balloon will always miss Their lips are dry when they kiss In a flood they float yachts In the nose, no snots When huddled masses lose all slammed by tsunami The rich on high ground donate salami Point a hose at a rich woman, she will point you to jail (and you will go there without fail) Their roof never leaks Their grass has no dew The toilet won’t clog with their poo The rich man is one lucky fella A poor man like me will hold his umbrella
