INTRO:

1. Gee, but it's tough to be broke, kid. It's not a joke, kid, it's a curse

2. Rome wasn't built in a day, kid. You have to pay, kid, for what you get

My luck is changing, it's gotten from simply rotten to something worse

But I am willing to wait, dear, your little mate, dear, will not for-get

Who knows, someday I will win, too. I'll be-gin to reach my prime

You have a lifetime be-fore you. I'll a-dore you, come what may

Now, though, I see what our end is, all I can spend is just my time

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 a while, scheme a while, 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's doesn't sell, baby

Till that lucky day, you know darn well, ba - by

I can't give you any - thing but love (DISMOUNT)
