Land 

Land, land, land!
To own it, much of it,
is power in your hands.
Society values property.
Get as much as you can!
Responsiblity is the key,
and dirt makes the man.

Land, land, land!
When the notes are paid in
full, the possession can last
from the father to the sons.
That’s the way of the past.
Or you buy low, sell high
and make the money fast.

Land, land land!
It’s value is what’s below,
and what machines scan.
Mineral wealth discovered
is a bonus that quickly adds
money to a bank account.
Bad deals will make you mad.
 
Land, land, land!
To own it, much of it,
puts you into another class.
Taxes, maintenance and
insurance grow like grass,
but credit is always available
with a low supply of cash.
 
Land, land, land!
It’s value is in its potential.
The future is in demand.
The house that survives
isn’t built on sinking sand.
The property is a reality,
on which you can stand.
 
Land, land, land.
