lyrics

Well Wealthy Wally, he has it made
Ain't got a wife, to drain his bank
He ain't got no kids shitting in diapers
Just CRA agents sitting with snipers

His offshore bank account can't be found
It's under the sea where you ain't bound
To dive deep to the Gungans
Who give great tax deductions

The agents look through his trash cans
Review every document that they can
Trudeau, he ain't got a clue
How Wally made this revenue

He made it as a kid selling lemonade with Roberta, his maid
Dad made him glad when he gifted the young lad
A storefront built by underpaid men without papers

Wally got rich, from digging in the ditch
Getting his hands dirty at 7:30
Using the CAT machine, which Roberta kept clean
On the property Father purchased

Because Wally liked the PC game, of the same thing
So Dad took a jet to Alberta and sent
Wally his very own construction toy
Which he learnt to drive from his butler Roy

Now Wally gives speeches, all the teens he reaches
Say they can do it to
One day you work at Wendy's
The next day you own the whole world
