I knew a fella once that he had some money in the bank, and he wouldn’t draw it out. And, you know what? He lost his job, and still he wouldn’t draw it out. Then he starved to death — that killed him. And then he died, and after he was dead. A friend of his got all his money, and he drewed it out of the bank. and I could live happily ever after. Yes, sir!
