Everyday Things

Millionaires, president - even kings

Can't get along without everyday things.

Were you president, king or millionaire, 

You'd use a comb to comb your hair.

If you wished to be clean -and you would, I hope-

You'd take a bath with water and soap.

And you'd have to eat- if you wanted to eat-

Bread and vegetables, fish and meat;

While your drink for breakfast would probably be 

Milk or chocolate, coffee or tea.

You'd have to wear-you could hardly refuse-

Under clothes ,outer clothes, stockings and shoes.

If you wished to make a reminding note ,

You'd take a pencil out of your coat;

And you couldn't sign a letter I think,

With anything better than pen and ink.

If you wanted to read ,you'd be sure to look

At newspaper, magazine or book;

And if it happened that you were ill,

You'd down some oil are choke on a pill.

If you had a cold I can only suppose

You'd use a handkerchief for your nose.

When you wanted to rest your weary head,

Like other folks, you'd hop into bed.

Millionaires, president-even kings

Can't get along without everyday things.
