Then I'd Be Satisfied with My Life - Live at Royal Albert Hall

Lyrics

You must forgive me
 My memory's as good as my clothes
 1902, Mr. George M. Cohen
 Writer of such great songs
 "You're a Grand Old Flag" and "Yankee Doodle Dandee"
 Wrote this number and I got it right on the dust
 Of one of my old music collections
 All I want is fifty million dollars
 Seal skins to protect me from the cold
 If I only knew how stocks would go in Wall Street
 And were living in a mansion built of gold
 Why, if I could only stay sixteen forever
 Then I know that I'd be satisfied with life
 All I want is wheatgerm for my breakfast
 And a champagne fountain sizzling at my feet
 While Rockefeller waited on the table
 And Lombardo's band playin' while I eat
 If I only owned Western Union cable
 If I only had an heiress for a wife
 If I could only stay sixteen forever and ever
 Then I'd know that I'd be satisfied with life
 You know, my friends
 There are many things in this world I'd love to have
 As long as you have peace of heart and peace of soul
 And things are right up there, that's all you need
 If I had all that, why
 If I could only stay sixteen forever and ever and ever
 Then I know that I'd be satisfied
 I know that I'd be satisfied
 I know that I'd be satisfied with life
 Thank you
 Thank you so much
 Before our little next number
 In 1910, Mr. Billy Williams, great English star of his day
 Did this number
 And it's the first time it's ever been done
 Anywhere outside of the States, since that time
 Where does Daddy go when he goes out?
 Where does the fire go when it goes out?
