Diamonds, gold, and precious things, according to their minds;
When, as a mountain came in view, Jake had a great big think,
And voiced a wish so mighty it made meek Moses blink.
Said he, “See, Mose, dot great big hill piled up so mighty grand;
I vish dat it vass solid gold, and in the hollow of my hand;
All mine to do vith as I vould, then I’d buy power and place;
Kings would come and bow to me, for I would be the ACE.”
“Oh! s’elp me,” cried out Moses, between a gasp and groan,
“If dat vas true, vould you giff me some?”
Said Jake, “Get a vish of yer own.”
