Fifty Checks

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 hand 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 make 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

Evern 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

But 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
