rate me

Have you got miss fortune? <br>She's the daughter of rich parents,<br>All she does is cry.<br>One four-letter word is all she wants,<br>But you can't buy love,<br>So there's no supply.<br><br>Will you take young master charge? <br>The boy who's living well,<br>Beyond his father's means.<br>See his mother kill herself with work,<br>To keep her dandy,<br>In the latest jeans.<br>(happy families.)<br><br>Happy families is a kid's game.<br>Happy families is your main aim.<br>It starts out with a dealing in the middle of the night,<br>And ends up with a full house if you play your cards out right.<br>Mum says dad is cheating,<br>You should see the grown-ups fight,<br>For...<br><br>Happy families,<br>The game that's sure to please.<br><br>Have you got young master race? <br>The bigot son who, like his dad,<br>Is fueled with fear.<br>Not so much a son more of a stormtrooper,<br>To burn the books,<br>When dad's not here.<br><br>Happy families is a kid's game.<br>Happy families is your main aim.<br>You start out with your first cub and you think that life's a song.<br>You'll end up with a wolfpack if you lay your cards out wrong.<br>Dad says mom is cheating,<br>You can see the children long,<br>For...<br><br>Happy families,<br>The game that's sure to please.<br><br>Have you got miss carriage? ,<br>She's the girl who wants a baby,<br>That she cannot find.<br>Strange, the ones who want to win the race are,<br>Usually the ones,<br>Who fall behind.
