Скачать или смотреть I Know That I'd Be Satisfied With Life - Johnny Foodstamp

Here is a great little tune from 1903 written by George M. Cohen and covered (partially) by Tiny Tim on his debut album "God Bless Tiny Tim". I have changed a lot of the word to better exemplify what would satisfy my life in particular! :) Played on my 1927 Gibson soprano uke.

LYRICS

I'll say you'd hardly meet a man
as through this world you go
a man that's truly satisfied with life

he may be blessed with wealth
and health but as the story goes
his fight for all that bullshit brings him strife

the king both great and grand
who has a land at his command
still seeks to cram his flag up someone's shore

oh this life we lead is greed
but there are certain things i need
and if I had them I would ask for nothing more

All I want is 50 million dollars
And 3 piece vintage suit to keep me warm
If I only knew how the chips would fall in Vegas
And were strummin a ukulele made of gold

If the 1 percent would let me spend their money
And if I only had a heiress for a wife (Oh, Foodstamp!)
If I could only play disc golf forever
Then I'd know that I'd be satisfied with life.

In a little brown, brick shanty
just before the ghetto proper
it's where I take my wife to share our poverty
but while things are coming hard for us
i'm satisfied its true
to stop and smell the roses and the weeds

there are some people think a roofer's life is but a blank
and long for Nashville's glamour night and day
but if to me the choice you give
i would settle down and live
in some quiet little alley on Broadway

All I want is Waffle House for breakfast
And a Champagne fountain sizzling at my feet
While Jack White is waitin' on our table
And Roy Smeck on the jukebox while I eat.

If I only owned Apple Computers
And if I only had an heiress for a wife (Foodstamp, I love you!)
If I could only stay 27 forever and ever
Then I'd know that I'd be satisfied with life.
