Subject: RE: Pocket full of dreams
Well, by doggies, I was close! Even came up with "I'm no millionaire, but I'm not the type to care" this morning. I thought I heard old Bing singing it in my mind's ear, but figured I was confusing it with one of the songs he and Bob Hope sang in Road to (Somewhere) that said:

Ain't got a dime to my name,
What a terrible shame.
Ho-hum, ho-ho-hum.
I've got a hole in my shoe,
And my stocking shows through.
Ho-hum, ho-ho-hum.

I'm just as free as a bird in a tree,
Life is a wonderful whim!
Look at the crank with his dough in the bank;
Don't you feel sorry for him? (uh-uh)

Rollin' along at a loss,
Never gatherin' moss.
Ho-hum, ho-ho-ho-ho-hum.

These two songs ought to be in the thread Rick Fielding started awhile ago about "the same song written again (or whatever).

Anyway, congratulations, "Mary who sings Irish songs!" I knew some 'Cat would find it. You're the one!
