i don't want a big fast car
or a house up in the hills
like some great movie star
one thing's for certain as heaven's above
everything goes up in price including love

i don't want no gold-topped cane
or a Frigidaire
to keep the chill on my pink champagne
one thing's for certain as heaven's above
everything goes up in price including love

i don't want to dine in style
at sardi's – I'd simply feel outclassed
but I don't want to go on
getting poorer so fast

i don't want no ocean cruise
or someone to pour my booze
or shine my alligator shoes
one thing's for certain as heaven's above
everything goes up in price including love

i don't want no French valet
or someone who's kind to me
because they know I'm gonna pay
one thing's for certain as heaven's above
everything goes up in price including love
