same chords as VERSE:
He went and spent all the money that he had
Because he had a thought and not a head.(?)
He spent it all on girls and fancy jewelry.

And the judge said to "pay up or you must sell out."
Most exclusive residence for sale.

He had to tell the servants to go away.
They couldn't even afford to pay their way.
He took to the bottle and drunk himself down,
Then he soaked away all the troubles and let them drown.
Then he saw a notice on the wall.
