he drops into his easy chair
then bids his family come and gather' round his chair
no one knows quite to expect
when he dreams and a beggar when he reflects
got more than most and yet
i didn't vanish when i was afraid
i only asked where are they
i've got more than most and yet
i learnt to vanish when i was afraid
but i don't try not to try
in my life of get and get
i've got more than most and yet
the love of heart and target
young and old poor-hearted
it's its own reward but all i want is you
