Gee, but it’s tough to be broke, kid
It’s not a joke, kid, it’s a cure
My life is changing, it’s gotten from simply rotten
To something worse

          Who knows, one day I will win too
I’ll begin to reach my prime
Now that I know what our end is, all I can spend is
Just my time

I can’t give you anything but love, baby
That’s the only thing I’ve plenty of, baby
Dream a while, scheme awhile, you’re sure to find
Happiness, and, I guess, all the things you’ve always pined for

Gee, I’d like to see you doing swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth’s doesn’t sell, baby
“til that lucky day you know darn well, baby
I can’t give you anything but love
