SYNONYM

Your synonym for mortarboard may be monentary gain,
But when I was a kid at school I was stretching out my brain.
And now I find how lucky I am to find myself estranged
From those who do only what they’re expected to.
Fifty-two weeks in a year, you know you might get off two.
Ah, but a budding young businessman was he!

Well you know I could, I coulda hadda Cadillac, kept a hob-nob job and even had a pretty wife,
But everyday I just want to play out the meaning of my life.
And I know it’s my greatest liability that I want to do it right.
But maybe I too can be “fairer for a fleck”,
‘Cause so many many musician just doles out dreck.
And a budding young businessman is he!
