3.

 The Miser plays his games
like dominoes in linen 
Unlike the Atlantic
  
You smile but don't know
What you are smiling about
The lemon or the Mac & cheese

Your heartbreak is just a little too close
You sweat and smell bad unlike you
You say it's the worry

And order a Gin & tonic
Beefeater's and the band 
Plays another samba tune 

Cha cha cha it sounds great
It's why you came in
And it's better than you expected

Hector doesn't know his name 
Is also a verb
You mean heckle?!
Nope. 

He complains he can't make any money 
With his boat
You listen sympathetically 
Life is not so bad
