Lyrics

Fifty checks don't feel like much
When you first hold them
Nothing special to the touch
But look inside
Every digit points the way
Every date's your lucky day
Every check's a mini magic carpet ride
Can you think of fifty dreams?
They're in your hands now
And with your heart and mind
There ain't nothing you can't do
'Cause you...
Got fifty checks, fifty chances
Cold hard cash or hot romances
Fifty checks can help those dreams come true
Fifty checks don't look like much
But listen, Frankie
In the proper hands, they're such a work of art
'Cause every one of them unlocks
Your own personal Fort Knox
Even Rockefeller had to get his start!
Use that 'do-re-mi'
To get your future swinging
You might strike it rich
Or just find strain and strife
... or a wife!
Yes, these fifty chances, fifty choices
Buy little gifts like big Rolls-Royces
Fifty checks can help you change your life
Yes, "I've arrived" each check announces
Each one gold until it bounces!
Fifty checks, the ride has just begun
Merry Christmas to my one and only son
Merry Christmas to my one and only son
(spoken)
Don't spend it all in one place
