The Mansions of Rhode Island

Tour the mansions of Rhode Island
(And it doesn’t matter which)
And discover just how different
Life can be if you are rich.

Want to throw a little party?
Ask 400 of your friends
While your servants prep and coddle
For the fun that never ends.

Have some outfits made in Paris;
Order in the best champagne.
Bathe in water from the ocean.
(Watch the salt go down the drain!)

Walk on floors laid in mosaics;
Dance ‘neath crystal chandeliers.
Stroll through gardens planted solely
To outdo those of your peers.

Never mind the lowly rabble
Who are born to work and serve
For the really wealthy do believe
They get what they deserve.
