Like and Likewise

We like the lovely landscape, We like the rolling hills; We like the winding rivers, But don't like to pay our bills.

We like to go a-fishin', We like to loaf and shirk; We like a lot of money, But we do not like to work.

We like the sweetest music, We like to eat and drink; We like a lot of pleasures, But we do not like to think.

We like to read the papers, We also like to sleep; We like to laugh and chatter, But we do not like to weep.

We also like the fellow Who is very wise, like you; And if you'd like to know it all — Then, by gosh, we're likewise too.
