If I Had Money Enough

I’d like to take a trip abroad

     If I had money enough;

I’d just each worthy man reward

     If I had money enough.

I’d buy a brand new aeroplane,

     I’d stop the rioting in Spain,

And then I’d fly back home again,

     If I had money enough.

The best man would each office get

     If I had money enough;

I’d jail all scoundrels you may bet,

     If I had money enough.

Plan Number One, Plan Number Two,

     Whatever plan is best for you,

That is the plan that would go through,

     If I had money enough.

Still, after all, I’m not so sure,

     If I had money enough,

That I would help deserving poor,

     If I had money enough,

I might do like some others do,

     Yes, go abroad, and stay there, too,

And give my native land the “shoe”,

     If I had money enough.
