Why did I have to volunteer

Thank you Di@DXB, that was very helpful. I feel funny contacting Mr David Edgar for just a song, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. This topic has brought so many laughs this week. One for the content of the song. Two, because the lady for whom we're song searching is anti-internet, in spite of being told how helpful it is, particularly skyping with grandkids, etc., my friend has been trying to get her to use the iPad they bought her forever ago. Imagine the convincing argument we thought we were making in "quickly" looking up this song for her, and informing her she could "look it up, buy it and listen to it in seconds, these days EVERYTHING is so easy to find on that thing!" Ha. So much for that. Now she knows for certain the internet is not only a privacy invading thing but useless as well. (of all songs on earth she had to want THAT one.....sigh)

Thank you Redrec, no luck on that site, unfortunately.

Rarely is the internet stumped, but I am really at a loss. I present to you the lyrics of a (very interesting) song I can't find via Shazam, or Sound Hound, or Music ID, or a bunch of others. Those lyric sites and music finder apps have produced n o t h i n g. The only thing I've found is an old blog in which the song was going to be used for a film (no luck finding the film either) The person who wrote the lyrics made no mention of the song's name or the singer. Am surprised because usually, just a few words from the lyrics, or seconds of playing the tune on those apps results in finding the music. We heard it on Nigella's Lawson Christmas episode 1, which led us to the old blog, and nothing else to go with. Even the lists of songs related to that specific show we found don't include that song. My guess is the song would be called "rich is better" but again, no real clue, an old jazzy sounding tune with female singer. A friend's non internet savvy mother in law wants the song and I (regrettably) volunteered to find it because "its SO easy to find anything on the internet these days!!" So my last try is EW, please let me know if anyone has any idea who or what this song is...thanks "One day ahead, I plan to wed, S0me corporate jetter. But one thing’s sure, he wont be poor, Cause rich is better. At seventeen i saw the Queen, Just wish i’d met her. She made me switch, from poor to rich, Cause rich is better. I’ve no time to waste, Men still love to taste my chocolate laced with honey. I dont give a jot, if they’re dumb or not, As long as they’ve got, the money. So if you’re wise, and realise, that life has lit you. Believe you, me, one day you’ll see, the total picture. So don’t stay poor, whatever for? Cause rich is better! (Oh, hah, ahh) It’s not dead, it’s in my head, Not in my sweater. I quickly learnt, the poor get burnt So rich is richer. Most everyday, there comes my way, A begging letter. But i ignore, they make you poor. And rich is better!"
