Money can't help you took fine real happiness you say

It may not help but then again it don't stand in your way

So don't come knockin' at my door if you want sympathy

Well now money can't buy you happiness but neither can poor ole me

Money won't help you very much if you wanna find true love

But that don't mean just being poor will make you better off

If you can't win a girl with a Cadillac don't switch to a Model T

Well now money can't buy you happiness but neither can poor ole me

You got troubles tropubles and worries it's all true no doubt

But all your cares are just a thing I'd love to worry about

I wish just once that I got a chance to sit back and complain

About a steak that's overdone and underaged champagne

My schauffer bein' late ain't my idea of real misery

Well now money can't buy you happiness but neither can poor ole me

Money can't buy you happiness but neither can poor ole me

Neither can poor ole me  neither can poor ole me
