Reminds me of a song my dad used to sing. the lyrics, (Can someone find them?) went something like this.
.....and people shake their heads and call me beggar cos I'm broke,
but there's one little lad, and he calls me dad,
shake hands with a millionare.
Walking down the street in ragged clothes is not a joke
People point me out and call me beggar cause l'm broke
But there's one little lad and he calls me Dad
Shake hands with a millionaire
Let the others have their fancy food and dine with wine
I can always feast my eyes upon that lad of mine
While l've one loaf to spare and someone to care
Shake hands with a millionaire
l'm rich with sunshine that his smiles and kisses have brought me
His eyes are little gems that sparkle with joy
There's nothing in this world that gold could have bought me
That would take the place of you my laddie boy
So what if l'm a beggar and who cares what people say
Who knows by tomorrow l might see a better day
I'm not worth a thing, but to him l'm a king
Shake hands with a millionaire.
