Name: I Think I'll Buy a Yacht
Duration: P00H03M15S
Description: Inspired by the sight of the World's most expensive super yacht, 'A', in Wellington Harbour, and an online virtual tour of same. The vessel is very lavishly-appointed and decorated as one would expect, including the use of white stingray hides as wall-coverings. What else could one do with $400 million and a whole lot of white stingray hides?

lyrics

I'm doing well, I'm doing real well
I'm talking oil well, real well, makin' pharmaceuticals,
global clientele are buying all I got to sell
doing really really really really really really really really well

I'm doing fine, like that's a crime
I’m makin' money in munitions, and a fortune outta gas
got a castle in Morocco and a factory in Madras
doing really really really really really really really really well

BR
I can buy a Maserati, I can buy a piece of Spain
I could sell all my Picassos, and buy them back again
I got a hundred million dollars gonna blow it in one shot
I meant to do it yesterday I just forgot

hey I think I'll buy a yacht.
a really really big yacht
think I’ll buy a really really really really really really really big yacht

3
I'm doing great, ah for goodness sake
stop going on about the poor, don't you shove 'em in my face
if they worked a little harder they could end up in my place
doing really really really really really really really really well

BR 2
I could maybe build a hospital in Kenya or Chad
eradicate malaria, or that other thing they had
I got a hundred million dollars gonna blow it in one shot
I meant to do it yesterday I just forgot

solo

I can buy a Maserati, I can buy a piece of Spain
I can sell all my Picassos, I can buy them back again
I got a hundred million bucks gonna blow it in one shot
I meant to do it yesterday but I forgot

hey I think I'll buy a yacht.
a really really big yacht
a really really really really really really really big yacht

some sort of cloaking device so if I want to I can hide it
how bout a little docking bay, I'll stick another yacht inside it!

how bout those endangered species, god I love ‘em all
let’s skin a hundred stingrays & put ‘em on the wall
