Lyrics

I have cash
Yes I'm rolling in green
But I find myself in a desperate need
I need you
To show me you care
For the hardships befalling this billionaire
I made my name stripping books off of shelves
Just order from home and receive in the mail
Then I took those pages and put them on screens
Now you can thank me for the jobs I create
And there's more
Yes I moved on from there
To selling electronics, product for your hair
Pots and pans
Anything you can dream
You need never abandon the comfort of screens
Now all that I ask (all that I ask)
Is you lend me a hand (is lend me a hand)
See I've built me a boat in the Netherlands (in the Netherlands)
It has three giant masts length of four fifteen feet (four fifteen feet)
Yes it's worthy of a job creator like me
Worthy of a job creator like me
There's a bridge in Rotterdam
That's been drawing for ships since nineteen two seven
It's served well
For near a century
But it can't draw enough to let mine out to sea
My yacht has three masts, three masts of steel
And I've built them higher than anyone's seen
Now I need a favor, dismantle that bridge
It's the least you can do for the value I bring
All I ask
Is dismantle it fast
And it would be best at public expense
Then I'll be on my way as I sail out to sea
I'll get back to my work of counting my money
Believe you'll be serving the world indeed
By helping a job creator like me
Believe you'll be service the world indeed
By helping me with my desperate need
