Well, I've worn this suit for 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
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
Yeah, why, why, why wasn't I born rich
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
Yeah, why, why, why wasn't I born rich
They say that money can't buy you love
But love's the thing I got plenty of
I've got my happiness and the health
Now all I'm short of is the wealth
Hey, why, why, why wasn't I born rich
But love's the thing I got plenty of
I've got my happiness and the health
Now all I'm short of is the wealth
Hey, 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 the thing I got plenty of
I've got my happiness and the health
Now all I'm short of is the wealth
Hey, why, why, why wasn't I born rich
But love's the thing I got plenty of
I've got my happiness and the health
Now all I'm short of is the wealth
Hey, why, why, why wasn't I born rich
Got to 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
Yeah, why, why, why wasn't I born rich
Tell me, why, why, why wasn't I born rich
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
Yeah, why, why, why wasn't I born rich
Tell me, why, why, why wasn't I born rich
