thanks for the bribery
you did a job, divine...keepin' me in line
the car i got, and money...that you poured on me like wine
how lovely, it was

thanks for the bribery
my bank account ballooned...you gave, to me, the moon
the europe trips...the sailin' ships...i'd sleep most days till noon
how lovely, it was

many's the time i feasted
and i made sure all my friends did
all from the money, you lended
since i'm your son...you kiss my buns

so, thanks, for the bribery
you bought me more and more...but otherwise, ignored
guess i was a headache, but at least i wasn't poor
so, thank you...so much

thanks for the bribery
for fillin' up my purse...i guess it could be worse
i'm lucky...i'd be outta bread, if fortunes were reversed
how lucky...i am

thanks for the bribery
you threw cash in my face...its good most every place
i started spendin' money at a monumental pace
how lovely, it was

you were content with a highball
but i got high with a needle
and i had all i could wheedle
i couldn't last...now, life has passed

so, thanks for the bribery
though, i'm not here with you...i hope my voice comes through
you never told me anything...i knew not what to do
really wished i'd known you...cheerio and toodle-oo
and thank you...so much
