lyrics: This path leads to the wishing well. Some people say the well leads straight to hell, but I believe if you toss in a coin it multiplies a hundred times. I walk down there each and every day, every penny that I scrounge and save goes in the well and every cent counts toward my just reward. I don’t need to get a job -- leave the hard work to the unwashed mob -- I’ll sit and grin and wait for the money to roll in. Thank you, wishing well.

So now I lie here lazy-boned, I get up now and then to search the family home; anything of value that I find I throw into the well – heave-ho! My father sighed and sadly said, “It’s like pulling teeth to get you out of bed.” I had the last laugh when he died, for I then threw in his gold teeth, too! I don’t need to find a bride: she’ll simply show up, starry-eyed. I have faith the wishing well will soon provide. Thank you, wishing well

Eighty years went by so fast; all my chances came and passed. I could have got it all myself by now if not for that wishing well.
