[Verse 1]
DWith his fool's gold stacked up Amall around Dhim
From a killing in the marAmket on the Dwar 
The cAhildren left king MGidas there, as Dthey fGound him
In hDis counting house where Cnothing counts but mDore 
[Chorus]
And he thought hAe heard the ecGhos of Da penny whistle band 
And the Alaughter from a distaGnt caraDvan
And the brigAhtly painted line Gof circus Dwagons iGn the sand
DFading through the Cdoor intBmo sumCmerD  
[Verse 2]
DWith his travelogues of Ammaybe next year places D  
As a trade in for a namAme upon the dooDr
And he pays Afor it with yearGs he cannot buDy back with hGis tears 
when he Dfinds out there's been Cno one keeping sDcore
[Chorus]
And he thought hAe heard the ecGhos of Da penny whistle band 
And the Alaughter from a distaGnt caraDvan
And the brigAhtly painted line Gof circus Dwagons iGn the sand
DFading through the Cdoor intBmo sumCmerD

The children left king Midas there, as they found him

In his counting house where nothing counts but more
