All About The Abrahams
Letter Seventeen
It’s tough making money in the music biz. Inspired by the song “Cake By The Ocean”.
Tim - lead and backing vocals, bass, drum programming, keys. Clarke - backing vocals. Grant - drums. Bob - guitars, backing vocals, beatboxing.
Countin’ dem pennies from youtube clips
As I try to get rich in the music biz
Stream this, click that, a download or two
These days it seems it’s what we all do
Pre-Chorus
Micro pay me in slices of a cent
Hope to get enough so I can pay the rent
A hat tip to you Mr. Franklin, but I’m all about the Abrahams
I’ll try to make it big so I can be all about the Abrahams
You’re gonna get rich slow when you are all about the Abrahams
That’s just the way it goes when you are all about the Abrahams
I put the songs out and I hope for good luck
With 1200 plays I might make a buck
A few thousand more and I’ll buy a happy meal
This is what happens when you keep it real
(You’re gonna get rich now someday / You’re gonna be loaded)
Love this one. Because let's face it, I don't need to be a millionaire; I'd settle on being a thousandaire.
