This world is bad enough, may-be;
We do not comprehend it;
But in one fact can all agree
God won't, and we can't mend it.
Dipsychus (1862)
Afloat; we move. Delicious! Ah,
What else is like the gondola?
Dipsychus (1862)
So pleasant it is to have money, heigh-ho!
So pleasant it is to have money.
Dipsychus (1862)
Trust me, I’ve read your German sage
To far more purpose e’er than you did;
You find it in his wisest page,
Whom God deludes is well deluded.
Dipsychus (1862)
I drive through the streets, and I care not a d-mn;
The people they stare, and they ask who I am;
And if I should chance to run over a cad,
I can pay for the damage if ever so bad.
Dipsychus (1862)
I sit at my table en grand seigneur,
And when I have done, throw a crust to the poor;
Not only the pleasure, one’s self, of good living,
But also the pleasure of now and then giving.
So pleasant it is to have money, heigh ho!
So pleasant it is to have money.
Dipsychus (1862)
They may talk as they please about what they call pelf
They may sneer as they like about eating and drinking
But help it I cannot, I cannot help thinking,
How pleasant it is to have money, heigh ho!
How pleasant it is to have money.
Dipsychus (1862)
