Just Gatsby
Hello I am Gatsby,
 Great Gatsby you say?
 No I'm his cousin,
 Just Gatsby okay...
 
 I am just like him,
 At least that's what I am told,
 If only I could pay for college,
 When I was 18 years old.
 
 Do you see my home?
 It's right by the beach,
 My ambitions and my goals,
 Oh just out of reach!
 
 We could have a party
 But I've only got one shirt,
 Swimming in my pool,
 No we could swim in the dirt.
 
 Want to ride my car?
 It can go really fast,
 Nope I forgot,
 No one can afford gas.
 
 I need to get a job,
 I need to set myself straight,
 If only it was enough,
 To put food on my plate.
 
 Maybe I'll move,
 But where will I go?
 China, maybe India,
 I'll surely make dough.
 
 Forget about Daisy,
 I'm leaving this joint
 I'm broke and I'm tired,
 And I think you get the point,
 Old Sport.
