Personal finance can be a dry subject for many people. I find it enjoyable, but as my regular readers know, I’m very weird. For those who aren’t like me, here is my attempt to bring some fun.
If I Had A Million Dollars
by Barenaked Ladies
If I had a million dollars – (If I had a million dollars)
I’d buy you a house – (I would buy you a house)
If I had a million dollars – (If I had a million dollars)
I’d buy you furniture for your house – (Maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman)
And if I had a million dollars – (If I had a million dollars)
Well, I’d buy you a K-Car (A nice reliant automobile)
If I had a million dollars – I’d buy your love
If I had a million dollars – I’d build a tree fort in our yard
If I had million dollars – You could help, it wouldn’t be that hard
If I had million dollars – Maybe we could put like a little tiny fridge in there somewhere
You know, we could just go up there and hang out – Like open the fridge and stuff
There would already be laid out foods for us – Like little pre-wrapped sausages and things
They have pre-wrapped sausages but they don’t have pre-wrapped bacon
Well, can you blame ’em
Uh, yeah
If I had a million dollars – (If I had a million dollars)
Well, I’d buy you a fur coat – (But not a real fur coat that’s cruel)
And if I had a million dollars – (If I had a million dollars)
Well, I’d buy you an exotic pet – (Yep, like a llama or an emu)
And if I had a million dollars – (If I had a a million dollars)
Well, I’d buy you John Merrick’s remains – (Ooh, all them crazy elephant bones)
And If I had a million dollars I’d buy your love
If I had a million dollars – We wouldn’t have to walk to the store
If I had a million dollars – Now, we’d take a limousine ’cause it costs more
If I had a million dollars – We wouldn’t have to eat Kraft Dinner
But we would eat Kraft Dinner – Of course we would, we’d just eat more
And buy really expensive ketchups with it – That’s right, all the fanciest ke… dijon ketchups!
Mmmmmm, Mmmm-Hmmm
If I had a million dollars – (If I had a million dollars)
Well, I’d buy you a green dress – (But not a real green dress, that’s cruel)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well, I’d buy you some art (A Picasso or a Garfunkel)
If I had a million dollars – (If I had a million dollars)
Well, I’d buy you a monkey (Haven’t you always wanted a monkey)
If I had a million dollars – I’d buy your love
If I had a million dollars, If I had a million dollars
If I had a million dollars, If I had a million dollars
If I had a million dollars, I’d be rich
Thanks for the link shout-out in a very creative blog post! Love the song. It’s even better with links on the lyrics!
oh, I LOVE BNL!
Definitely the most creative link post ever!
This is a fabulous way to highlight other bloggers. I linked back to you and I will be using this format later on…with a different song of course!!! :-)
That takes me back…
Awesome post! The creativity is on par with this:

Thanks for the smile. :) My thought when I got the pingback was “why is Lazy linking to a comment?” But how about that, it’s a green dress!
This is a lovely, creative, and fun post. I own the original BNL demo tape with this song…I wonder if it’s worth a million dollars yet? ;)
Nice link post. If I had a million dollars I’d definitely be able to quit my day job.
Good job, Lazy!
I cannot tell a lie….geek that I am set a .pps file to that music and sent it to a girl to cheer her up. We’d been friends for a long time, and there was nothing more than a platonic ego boost intended, but….UGH!…my Idiot-O-Meter must have been pegged that day!
oh my lord you are freakin’ hilarious! that def. adds some pizzaz to the finance land today. now, off to go find that song so i can get it out of my head…
Awesome song. Thanks for the link!
Very clever! Thanks for the link!
Is the picture of the post about the money of a Mexican-Chinese drug dealer?
That’s great! I was wondering about that picture too…
wow, awesome man! where did you get this idea? brilliant!
This is hilarious and kind.
My love don’t cost a thing.
if unique is what you seek… Lazy Man has got you covered. I enjoyed it.
