'God' is composed of letters three, br But if you put an 'l' br Before the last it seems to me br A synonym for Hell. br For all of envy, greed and hate br The human heart can hold br Respond unto the devil's bait br Of Gold. br br When God created Gold to be br For our adorning fit, br I little think he dreamed that we br Would come to worship it. br But when you ruefully have scanned br The chronicles of Time, br You'll find that lucre lends a hand br To Crime. br br So if you are a millionaire, br To be of Heaven sure, br Give every penny you can spare br Unto the sick and poor. br From Gold strike out the evil 'ell,' br And so with letters odd br You can with peace of spirit spell br Just GOD.
