If I was a caterpillar wouldn't
it be a farce?
I'd climb up on the leaves
and trees and slide down on my hands and knees!
Well, that may be somebody's
dream but it's not as good as mine.
If I had my way I'd shun today
and take a journey back in time.
I'll wait for someone brilliant
to invent a time machine,
Then sell my body to raise
the cash to fulfil my every dream.
I'd take some gold into the
past and buy a plot of land,
Then hold it 'til the present
day and sell it for a million grand!
I'd arm myself with sports
results, then bet on all the races.
With prior knowledge I can't
wait to see the shock on bookies' faces.
I'd warn JFK to stay away
from Dallas in November
And find out if a certain
inn was full on that long ago December.
I'd have a word with my young
self, and counsel her to eat much less
Of fish and chips and bread
and jam, so I can wear a smaller dress.
I'd head into the future next
to see what kind of mess it's in,
And see if they've discovered
yet the secret to me getting thin.
Then come back to the present
day with the secret in my pocket,
Tell Jenny Craig to take a
hike, and watch my finances skyrocket.
With all the cash that I could make, I wouldn't have to do a thing.
I'd even hire someone smart,
to do my homework, save me thinking!
