10120012 (Song)

Dedicated to the fathers who'd prefer their children grow up too soon and their way

By Monique StarPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

If I had 10120012

Dollars, I would sort our boy right out.

For with 10120012

Dollars, he would cease to cry or pout.

With 10120012

Dollars, he could turn a trade.

Yes, with 10120012

Dollars, in his future, I'd aid.

His room, a library, his life, a success,

Think of all he'd invite

From reading of sales, finances and stocks.

Oh dear, he would surely be bright.

He'd consume more and more of lessons from the world,

To gain more knowledge than he'll need,

When he grows into business and start to build bridges,

God, he would truly succeed.

It's never too early for real world learning

That he can be better without

The silly little games and stories he plays

As they're not what the world's all about.

He'd play with his dollars, but wisely, with hollers

That he is among the top

Cause his dear ol' dad taught him early on

To bring childish games to a stop.

So, with 10120012

Dollars, I'd look through nannies and crooks,

Cause with 10120012

Dollars, his needs are met...with books.
