Not at all the Title or song I set out to write this week.
Rich
I want to be rich
I want to get mine
I want to have money to burn
So I can have a good time
Spend all my money
On women and cars
I want to drink Dom Perignon
While I eat caviar
I want to be rich
Wealthy as hell
I want a big office on Wall Street
Where I can buy and sell
Then I'll take all my profits
And invest overseas
I don't want the I.R.S.
To come looking for me
I want to be rich
With an eighty room home
I want to eat breakfast in Paris
Then lunch in Rome
I could buy a jet airplane
And friends on Capitol Hill
Maybe even have dinner sometime
With Melinda and Bill (Gates)
I want to be rich
I want to get mine
I want to have money to burn
So I can have a good time
I want to be wealthy
I want to be set
I want all the people say
That's as good as it gets
That's as good as it gets...

Hi John,
Looks pretty clear and straightforward. :D
One suggestion:
Spent all my money............change to............Spend all my money
It reminds me of the song in Disney's Pocahontas "Mine, Mine, Mine"

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks James,
Spent was a typo. Duly noted and changed.
I enjoyed the video.

Clear and to the point. There's a lot of repetition of "I want." You could add some variety: I gotta have, I need, I would get.
Also, how about changing this:
I want to drink Dom Perignon
While I eat caviar
To this:
Drinking Dom Perignon rosé
While I eat caviar
That would put the focus on the women and cars and also refers to a specific expensive champagne that a wannabe rich guy would know about. You could also refer to a specific rare caviar (I know nothing about that).
Renee
Renee,
You are absolutely correct about the repetitive " I want". I will edited to improve on that.
I'll have to disagree with the "Dom Perignon" I see the singer as a pizza and beer type
of guy and only knows things like caviar and fine wine though pop culture references.
Edit:
Rich
I want to be rich
I want to get mine
With enough money to burn
So I can have a good time
Spend all my money
On women and cars
Drinking that Dom Perignon
While I eat caviar
I want to be rich
Wealthy as hell
Have a big office on Wall Street
Where I can buy and sell
Then I'll take all my profits
And invest overseas
I don't want the I.R.S.
To come looking for me
I want to be rich
With an eighty room home
Go off to eat breakfast in Paris
Then lunch in Rome
I could buy a jet airplane
And friends on Capitol Hill
Maybe even have dinner sometime
With Melinda and Bill
I want to be rich
I want to get mine
With enough money to burn
So I can have a good time
I want to be wealthy
I want to be set
So then the people will say
That's as good as it gets
That's as good as it gets
Thanks
John
