"TRUST FUND GIRL"
"Sweet is a legacy, and passing sweet
The unexpected death of some old lady
Or gentleman of seventy years complete,
Who've made 'us youth' wait too -- too long already
For an estate, or cash, or country seat..."
-- Lord Byron, Sweetness
by Steven
Salemi and Andrew Amsden
(Sung to the Tune of Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl")
Trust fund girl
She's been living in her trust fund world
I'll bet she never had to go to work
That's why she'll always think that I'm a jerk
Because I work
For my trust fund girl
She's been living in a bankrolled world
But always worrying it will not last
So now she's got to find a new guy fast
With lots of cash
(Falsetto Chorus)
Her gentry's landed
Like King George, they're ma - aa - ad
But when she's stranded
She calls up her da - aa - ad
Those checks come right on time
I'm so glad
that she's mine
she's my trust fund girl
You know I helped her through her trust fund world
She had some trouble reading the fine print
She'd rather go and raid the U.S. Mint
You get the hint?
Trust fund girl
the greed and apathy, it makes me hurl
But maybe someday when she's old and broke
She'll finally realize that she's been a dope
That's what I hope
(Falsetto Chorus)
And when she's counting
her assets so fi - ii - ine
Her interest's mounting
It came from the cop - per - mines
She'll say I'm not so smart
Cause I love
with my heart
She's a trust fund girl
She's been living in a magic world
With all that therapy she's finally healed
So now she's hunting for a better deal
That's what I feel
Trust fund girl
She's my trust fund girl
I once was in love
With a trust fund girl
My trust fund girl
No longer in love
With a trust fund girl
My trust fund girl
No interest in love
With a trust fund girl
My trust fund girl ...
(Repeat until the money
runs out,
Then find a job...
...or, alternatively,
hang in there until somebody else dies...)
