Oh I wish I could win the Lottery And own a home of my own Where I no longer need Social Security Or feel always in need of a loan. Oh I wish I'd no need to count pennies And that Christmas came every day That 'Housing Benefit' were ***** words And bills - a delight to pay! Yet I may not have two brass farthings My bank account won't reach double figures At least I walk around with a smile My personal wealth brings on the sniggers. Oh I might never be Rockerfeller As my bank account continually drains There's rarely a glimmer of sunshine It never pours, but constantly rains. I can't confess to NOT being happy And I'm wealthier than I appear I've still got all my marbles, Fish and chips, telly and beer! So I'll continue to draw Social Security Until the right position can be found But I won't ditch my dreams or my wishes So each week, I'll still pay my pound!!!
