Verse:
I have never envied folks with money,
Millionaires don't get along so well;
I have you, but haven't any money,
Still the combination would be swell;
Chorus:
Oh, baby, what I couldn't do-oo-oo,
With plenty of money and you-oo-oo;
In spite of the worry that money brings,
Just a little "filthy lucre" buys a lot of things;
And I could take you to places you'd like to go,
But outside of that, I've no use for dough;
It's the root of all evil,
Of strife and upheaval;
But I'm certain, honey,
That life could be sunny,
With plenty of money and you.
