Before you get out of your bed

And your thoughts are still in your head

Do you look at your life?

No trouble, no strife?

 And think what a great life you’ve led?

Or do you think that your life is so boring?

No travel, no gold medal scoring?

No musical heights

No rope walking in tights

A book would start the world snoring!

do your children give you great joy?

A smart girl a successful boy?

A grandchild or two

Enchanting to you?

Even when your home they destroy?

Are you satisfied with your lot?

Pleased with everything that you’ve got?

You need nothing more

Just a roof and a floor

Don’t need a Porsche or a yacht

Do you secretly wish you were rich?

Or a high-flying sarcastic bitch?

A queen or a king

Having a fling

Lying drunk in a Greek island ditch?

When your life is approaching the end

Is all you need a close loving friend?

or a parachute jump

to make your heart bump

and a last screaming whoop to transcend
