Greedy




I'm greedy, so greedy

Greedy for the gold I haven't got

It's an itty bitty craving that's ever so depraving

You may well think I'm raving

But I'm not



I'm greedy

Yes, indeedy!

Greedy follows the golden rule

It's a nagging sort of yearning

Whose symptoms keep returning

To make you smack your lips and start to drool

I don't hide it

I flaunt it

When I see gold, I cannot help but want it

Gold is something enticing

Why when you see a cake,

Don't you love to lick the icing?

I'm greedy, so greedy

Gimme gimme gimme gimme more!



Gimme more!



More is what I really long for

It's what I sing this song for

What's more, it makes me greedy to the core



Oh, King Midas, known for all your greed,

Stand aside 'cause I'm going to take the lead!



He's greedy

Yes, indeedy!



Gimme gimme gimme gimme gold!

I want gold to pave the streets with,

And gold to line my sheets with,

And gold to kill the nilly when she's cold



If he could chew it,

He'd do it



Well, I have, I'm proud to say,

There's nothing to it



He was willing of freely



Well, how else do you suppose

I got this moundful of golden shillings?



He's greedy

Yes, indeedy!

And we love him just the way he is

With his charm so rare is a king beyond the mayor

And you'll never see a set of teeth like his



Send your taxes in today

I'll end up with half your pay!

Yes, indeedy!

I'm not needy!

I'm greedy!
