lyrics
Twenty years have passed now
Since we made that foolish bet
We argued so ambitiously
And he opened up and said:
'I bet two million dollars
And I stake my freedom hence!'
Fifteen years in exile
In a house within a fence
He read all of the classics
And he wrote a thousand songs
His wine and his tobacco
Couldn't hold him all that long
And through his two-foot window
I could hear him moan and weep
What things a man will give up
For his hubris and his greed
And sure enough he made it
But I bled my fortunes dry
My conscience was forsaken
I decided he must die
He looked a man of eighty
Though he wasn't half that age
I found an open letter
So I read it page by page
'I'm the wisest man on earth now
But I'd rather end up dead
So keep your silly riches'
That is what the letter said
