Well, I've worn this suit for a year or two
I got brand new holes in my old, old shoes
My shirts are torn and my socks don't match
And my throat gets sore from the colds I catch
Why, why, why wasn't I born rich?
Why, why, why wasn't I born rich?
Well, I met this girl about a year last May
Took me home to see what her folks would say
Her father said as he threw me out
"What you can't afford you must do without."
Why, why, why wasn't I born rich?
Why, why, why wasn't I born rich?
They say that money can't buy you love
But love's a thing I got plenty of
I've got my happiness and health
Now all I'm short of is the wealth
Why, why, why wasn't I born rich?
Why, why, why wasn't I born rich?
They say that money can't buy you love
But love's a thing I got plenty of
I've got my happiness and health
Now all I'm short of is the wealth
Why, why, why wasn't I born rich?
Gotta work so hard for the pay I get
And I try to save, but I ain't done yet
The trouble is that it costs a lot
To get all the things that you haven't got
Why, why, why wasn't I born rich?
Why, why, why wasn't I born rich?
Tell me, why, why, why wasn't I born rich?
