and he showed her how to kick the gong around.

She had a dream about the king of Sweden
he gave her things that she was needin'
He gave her a home built of gold and steel
a diamond car with the puh-latinum wheels.

each meal she ate was a dozen courses.
She had a million dollars in nickels and dimes
she sat around and counted it all, a million times.
