If I were rich as sin

Swimmin’ in my money bin

You still would be my girl

We’d sail around the world

See things I’ve never seen

Drop in and see the queen

Catch Mona Lisa’s smile

Go yachting for a while

One can never say

Maybe one fine day

I will find a way to buy you happiness

I know I’ve often heard

Those now familiar words

Money can’t guarantee

More bliss for you and me and

Still yet I must confess

I’d take the chance I guess

Just once I’d like to see

If money could ruin me

I want my pockets crammed

My wallet also jammed

Houses around the world

You’d have the finest pearls

Summer in Tibet we’d see

Winters in Wai Ki Ki

Wake to a Sahara dawn

Or troll down the Amazon

One can never say

Maybe one fine day

I will find a way to buy you happiness
