Art wrote this for his second wife, Diane.
lyrics
If you CAN and you DO
drop a dollar in the hat
You're one of the good guys
And we both know that.
If you CAN'T and you DON'T but the music makes you smile
May the fates enrich you and the angels you beguile.
If you CAN and you DON'T, and you take take take
That's your business, but remember that what goes around comes around. (No rhymes for you).
P.S. and if you've donated a bunch before, of course you get to pass whenever you want.
drop a dollar in the hat
You're one of the good guys
And we both know that.

May the fates enrich you and the angels you beguile.

That's your business, but remember that what goes around comes around. (No rhymes for you).
