When I was a billionaire

When I was a billionaire

Enjoyed a life of endless privilege

Sitting on my yacht sipping a beverage

Used some benefits for leverage

Had some nice cars

Drove them far

Some thought I was a star

But it wasn't without mar

Never did learn to play the guitar

Always at a party

They probably thought I was a smarty

But I was more arty

Always a laugh

Really enjoyed my craft

Just as well we didn't need a raft

If anyone were to ask

It is what happened when we went aft

Life was a blast

But I knew it wouldn't last

It might be hard to grasp

But lost everything due to a flask

Might have been due to a spark

Remembering the days past

Just like it was when I was a billionaire
