Didja ever play - "WHAT IF ?"

Do you ever DREAM ?

What IF - MONEY WAS NO OBJECT ?

"Listen my children and you shall hear,
of the mid-night Ride of Paul Revere -
T'was the 18th of April, in '75,
and hardly a man is now alive -
that remembers that famous date and year!"

"We ain't got a barrel of money,
maybe we're ragged and funny,
but we'll travel the road,
sharing our load,
SIDE BY SIDE!"
