There are few will lend assistance O,
But, if success your efforts bless,

With high and low, where e'er you go,
'Tis all about the money, O.It changes hearts, it changes hands,
It passes as a token, O,
To gain the power that wealth commands,
How many hearts are broken, O,

Its struggles and its crosses, O,
But when indeed, we do succeed,
Our gains all turn to losses, O.(continues on next page)
