lyrics

Is it too much to ask, dear Lord, is it too much to ask,
For a million billion dollars? You can make it out to cash,
Am I asking too much, am I taking you for a ride?
Is it too much to ask to be the richest man alive?

Is it too much to ask, dear Lord, is it too much to ask,
To rule over a nation, to set the income tax?
Am I asking too much, for power heaven sent?
Is it too much to ask to be the president?

Is it too much to ask, dear Lord, is it too much to ask,
For twenty more sports cars like the red one that I crashed?
Am I asking too much for 19 Ferraris and a Dodge?
Is it too much to ask for a twenty-car garage?

Is it too much to ask, dear Lord, is it too much to ask,
For a swimming pool or five I can jump into with a splash?
Am I asking too much, have I taken my fill?
Is it too much to ask for a little house in Beverly Hills?

Is it too much to ask, dear Lord, is it too much to ask,
I’d really like a promotion and someone has to get the sack,
Am I asking too much, are you starting to get tired?
Is it too much to ask that that guy at work gets fired?

Is it too much to ask, dear Lord, is it too much to ask,
For a roof over my head, for a steady job that lasts?
Am I asking too much, have you even heard me yet?
Is it too much to ask to have my basic needs met?

Is it too much to ask, dear Lord, is it too much to ask,
For a cup that runneth over, for a bottomless whiskey flask?
Am I asking too much, can you tell me what you think?
Is it too much to ask to never run out of drink?

Is it too much to ask, dear Lord, is it too much to ask,
For someone who sees my beauty and is willing to wade through all my trash?
It’s the last thing that I’m asking from you up above,
The only thing I’m wanting is to be loved.
