    When i was a young boy.
    My Father did ask me.
    When you grow up to be a man.
    What do you want to be.
    Would you like to be a Doctor.
    Or a sailor on the sea.
    A Fireman or or a Baker.
    Or a Banker just like me.
    Maybe you want to be an Astronaut.
    Or even a famous Cook.
    A Scientist or an Author.
    And one day write a book.
    With that i sat upon his knee.
    Looked up and then i cried.
    No Dad! a Tramp with a trolley.
    A Tramp with a trolley i replied.
    My Father just looked down at me.
    And pulled me to him with his hand.
    He said Son that is not a proper job.
    One day you will understand.
    Well i started out a Banker.
    As wealthy as can be.
    With a Mercedes car,lovely house.
    And a perfect family.
    Well things dont work out as they might.
    And i gambled the nights away.
    And drank away my beautiful wife.
    And perfect family.
    So here i stand with my trolley.
    And i am as happy as can be.
    Because when i was a young boy.
    This is what i wanted to be.
