Greedy Edie

 

Greedy Edie wants to have
Whatever she can get
Without the extra hassles
Of going into debt

 
She'd like to be a millionaire
But doesn't quite know how
So, saving up her pennies
Is all she does right now

She wants to make a fortune
Be rich as rich can be
Find an endless source of income
Perhaps a money tree

But money isn't everything
As far as fortunes go
And value in a lifetime
Isn't only things you show

Now, Greedy Edie's finding
She really is quite rich
With a treasury full of friendships
Money's just a glitch
