Music Parody of When I Get Rich (When I Grow Up)

An ode for all the broke authors.

When I get rich

I will be rich enough to buy a write book
That will help to structure my novel
You have 'nuff bucks when you get rich

And when I get rich
I will be rich enough to buy a cup of
Coffee from the cafe right next door to me
A few times a day

And when I get rich
I will buy a L'enger Circ'
I can plan my book then rearrange
In bed late every night

And I'll start a Site
Using Wordpress and Bluehost
Or maybe Siteground or with HostPapa

But I'll choose later
'Cause by then I'll have cash
When I get rich

When I get rich, when I get rich, (when I get rich)
I will be rich enough to hire peeps
To edit, judge and make a front cover for me
For my new novel

And when I get rich, when I get rich, (when I get rich)
I will be brave enough to
Find someone who'll
Beta-read my stories's thirteenth draft
And I will bear their feedback

And when I get rich, (and when I get rich)
I will buy App Scrivener
It's an authors' rite of passage though they
Won't say it out loud

And I'll start a blog (I'll start a blog)
When I pay for my website
After I choose a host and domain name
But that comes later 'cause I don't have the cash

When I get rich

When I get rich
I will be brave enough to
Find someone who'll
Beta-read my stories's thirteenth draft
And I will bear their feedback

When I get rich

Just because you find that you're not rich
It doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
Nothing will change

When I get rich

Just because I find myself in a few debts
It doesn't mean that I can't indie-publish a story
If I think that publishing is too expensive
I might as well be saying
I quit storytelling
And that's not right

And if it's not right
You have to put it right

I feel like this might be redundant, but this is a joke. Nothing in here is meant to be taken seriously. Honest.
