Well, you can't have that, but if you're an American citizen

You are entitled to a heated kidney shaped pool

A microwave oven, don't watch the food cook

A DynaGym, I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home

A kingsize Titanic unsinkable Molly Brown waterbed with polybendum

A foolproof plan and an airtight alibi, real simulated Indian jewelry

A Gucci shoetree, a year's supply of antibiotics

A personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth

And Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number

A beautifully restored Third Reich swizzle stick, Rosemary's baby

A dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams
