Jackpot from 1971 by Blake

Jackpot

I don’t have much to show
In my bank account
No investment portfolios
Or high yield amounts
No ISAs, no dividends but one thing is true
I hit the jackpot the day I met you

I don’t eat caviar
I don’t drink champagne
Don’t live like a superstar
Don’t own a jet plane
Don’t travel in first class but one thing is true
I hit the jackpot the day I met you

I don’t have chambermaids
Or sheets made of silk
Wear clothes that are tailor-made
Have baths filled with milk
No friends in high places but one thing is true
I hit the jackpot the day I met you

And all of the memories are priceless to me
I’d wouldn’t trade them for all China’s tea

I don’t need palaces
I don’t need fast cars
Or gold horse drawn carriages
Or Cuban cigars
For I am a wealthy man because it is true
I hit the jackpot the day I met you
