if you win the lottery

When I Win the Lottery
Camper Van Beethoven

Well I lost an eye in Mexico
Lost two teeth where I don't know
People see me comin' and they move to the other side
of the road.

I robbed a liquor store or two
Made myself at home a few times
Borrowed myself a car when I needed it.

I got me a shack at the bottom of the road
Fixin' cars and givin' tows
Spend all my money on the lottery.

When I win the lottery gonna buy all girls on my block
A color TV and a bottle of French perfume
When I win the lottery gonna donate half my money to
the city
So they have to name a street or a school or a park
after me
When I win the lottery

Never run a flag up a pole
Like Mr. Red, White, and Blue down the road
But I never called myself a hero for killing a known
communist.

Now I can walk into any old bar
Find a fight without looking too hard
But I never killed someone I don't know just 'cause
someone told me to.

And when I win the lottery
Gonna buy the house next to Mr. Red, White and Blue
And when I win the lottery
Gonna buy Post 306 American Legion, paint it red with
five gold stars.

When I win the lottery.

When the end comes to this old world
The rats will cry and the rest will curl up
And God won't take the time to sort your ashes from
mine.

'Cause we zig and zag between good and bad
Stumble and fall on right and wrong
'Cause the tumbling dice and the luck of the draw
just leads us on.

And when I win the lottery, gonna buy all the girls
on my block
Silver-plated six shooters and a quart of the finest
highland scotch
'Cause when I win the lottery, the rocks will shake
their heads and say that
God is good but surely works in mysterious ways.

When I win the lottery.

I would put away enough money for my handicapped child to always have a quality of life.

Then I'd see what my other 4 cubs desired.

Then a couple of hot escorts for me and squinney. :wink:

if i win the lottery i would go out on a limb and actually fill up my truck with gas...

Open a gallery for unknown artist. Set my favorite cousin up with a business. Of course it would be my business, but, he would manage it. Would buy the best brown stone in NY, and renovate it for myself. Come what may; I have decided to die here. I truly love New York!

youre not going to buy the satue of liberty?

""Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

Does that Statue of Liberty stand for this today? If it does I will buy it!

Then again, if it still means this that I just quoted, it cannot be bought by no one man, for it belongs to all men.

I'd share the money with my mom and my son, then I'd get me a brand new T-Bird convertable, then I'd build my very large log home.

I'd eat every now and then in between.

Sorry, I just couldn't stick with just the "first" thing :-D

Montana, since I was a little girl I wanted a log home away from the so called "human progress". So if you have any small part of it, treasure it.

I plan to build a small log cabin in a few years and I will treasure it every second.
I've wanted a log home since as far back as I can remember.
I think it started when I was around 3 years old and got my first set of lincoln logs :-D

The first thing I would buy is my freedom from work to live the life I enjoy.
Simply, I would pay off my mortgage, continue my health insurance, and begin writing one of the two or three books I have in me.
While not a lot by some standards, I already have all I need and much of what I want.

I would most likely buy a simple house in a remote corner of a forest or maybe a 12 room place in the north of France.

On further thought I would purchase a fleet of limousines (2 for each day of the month).

No, come to think of it I would invest my winnings in a bookstore...maybe an ice creamery.

Come to think of it I am not too sure what I would invest in first. There's always the chance that I would satisfy my childhood dreams and purchase the Lego company so I could play with my favorite plastic blocks all day all night and never have to put them away (with all that money, my hired staff could do that ) .

I would make sure all my family and friends were placed in a comfortable financial position.

If I had any money left over I would probably get a chocolate shake.

When I was a kid I used to have a plan; I was going to take pots, pans, anything I could possibly need to set up a home someplace. I wanted to take all these things to the woods, or mountains somewhere away from the city, and then I would build my own home. Alas, I'm still stuck in the city. This has truly been my most desired dream.

and women, and boys, and girls, and the chimps and apes at the zoos... (I'd rather have them in a wildland reserve).


Roofingguy, donate it all to charities :wink:
Beware the tiny printed disclaimers!!!
(e.g." for every dollar you donated we will donate two cents to....)

I'd pay off my new house, let my parents live in it for free so they can sell their house. Then I'd buy a huge amount of land in the middle of no where and use it as a home and ranch for abused and abondoned animals of all kinds.
