Nicholas pleads for a break
Psong 37
O Money, I always knew you would come through for me. qI never doubted it even for a moment.
2When rmy friend awakened this morning he was better, and he spoke to me as a friend, knowing that I had cared for him.
3s“Never will I forget this act of kindness,” he said. “And I shall in turn help you in your hour of need.”
4And truly, he is no poor tbeggar like myself, but a man of business uwho was set upon by competitors, and robbed, and left for dead from a blow to the head.
5vYes, O Money, he is one of your own followers, and he knows you well because of all the spirits he has sold in speakeasies.
6Surely, this is your doing, O Money. I would recognize your special golden hand anywhere.
7O Praise be to you, O Money. I have been given a fabulous new life.
