Analysis of I Don't Want Your Money
I don't want your glory. I don't want your fame.
I just want your story and your plucky game.
I don't want your pity. I don't want your rue.
I just want your ditty and your mountain dew.
I don't want your dilly. I don't want your dread.
I just want your jelly and your peanut bread.
I don't want your fury. I don't want your ire.
I just want your scurry and your ardent fire.
I don't want your posse. I don't want your lip.
I just want your glossy and your jocose quip.
I don't want your toddy. I don't want your part.
I just want your body and your flighty heart.
I don't want your money. I don't want your stash.
I just want your honey and your toothy flash.
