If I Had 10,000 Gold

By Roderick Vydrina

If I had ten thousand gold,

I'll tell you what I'd do.

I'd head on down to District Five

And buy a gal or two.

If I had ten thousand gold,

My worries would be gone.

I'd buy the greatest bottles of scotch

And drink from dusk 'til dawn.

I'd travel the land, far and wide.

I'd venture the open sea.

And wherever I'd stop to quench my thirst,

Drinks would be on me!

If I had ten thousand gold,

I'd wear the finest clothes.

I'd drape myself in silks and furs

From my shoulders to my toes.

If I had ten thousand gold

I'd ride the fastest steed.

Horse shoes made of the strongest iron

And a jewel-encrusted lead.

I think you would find, I'm generous and kind

To all the good ladies and lasses.

I'd buy the lands of those who've wronged me before

And toss them out on their asses!

Oh, if I had ten thousand gold

I would be unrivaled in fame.

From the Vascian ports to the elven woods

Everyone would know my name!
