Only Mr Bibb could write a song like this with his tongue in cheek humour and a tinge of attack at the materialistic western world we live in. Champagne and beer are at the opposite ends of the alcohol spectrum with their cost but not necessarily their value. The song is a conversation between a mother and her son as each offer views on a lifestyle which is basically living beyond ones means. Consumerism and more stuff do not satisfy the heart of man and can actually contribute to more anxiety in a life. Lovely light hearted song which lifts the spirit.
Matthew 6:19-21 offers good advice, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
