Now there's an old saying that's been all around I heard it before I could walk

How some's got health and some's got wealth others money marbles and chalk

I got money marbles and chalk sweetheart but I still feel like I am poor

Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll

And my chalk won't ride anymore



While you were near me I was happy and gay your presence made me feel so proud

But you left me for another for another one day now I feel alone in a crowd

I got money marbles and chalk...



The money marbles and chalk is all right to misers who love only gold

But give me a chance to save our romance for I love you with all of my soul

I got money marbles and chalk...
