Gee, but it's tough to be broke, kid. |
|
It's not a joke, kid, it's a curse. |
|
My luck is changing, it's gotten from |
|
Simply rotten to something worse |
|
Who knows, some day I will win too. |
|
I'll begin to reach my prime. |
|
Now though I see what our end is, |
|
All I can spend is just my time. |
|
I can't give you anything but love, baby. |
|
That's the only thing I've plenty of,baby. |
|
Dream awhile, scheme awhile |
|
We're sure to find |
|
Happiness and I guess |
|
All those things you've always pined for. |
|
Gee I'd like to see you looking swell, baby. |
|
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby. |
|
Till that lucky day you know darned well, baby. |
|
I can't give you anything but love. |
|
Rome wasn't built in a day, kid. |
|
You have to pay, kid, for what you get. |
|
But I am willing to wait, dear, |
|
Your little mate, dear, will not forget. |
|
You have a lifetime before you. |
|
I'll adore you, come what may. |
|
Please don't be blue for the present, |
|
When it's so pleasant to hear you say |
|
I can't give you anything but love, baby. |
|
That's the only thing I've plenty of,baby. |
|
Dream awhile, scheme awhile |
|
We're sure to find |
|
Happiness and I guess |
|
All those things you've always pined for. |
|
Gee I'd like to see you looking swell, baby. |
|
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby. |
|
Till that lucky day you know darned well, baby. |
|
I can't give you anything but love. |
