Gee, but life is funny,
I take it as a joke.
I laugh and smile all the while,
even when I am broke.
Cause money don't mean everything,
it only makes life gay
I didn't bring it to this world,
I won't take it away
Dee -oh -dee -lee -hee,
dee -oh -dee -lee -hee,
dee -oh -dee -lee -hee,
dee -oh -dee -lee -hee
Sing a boy, I have no need for money,
it's worthless don't you see,
cause I can sleep out on the street,
everything is free.
My pants are all full of holes
but it don't worry me,
I have good health and that's my
Well, if I'm happy as I can be
Doodly -dee -hee
Doodly -doodly -dee -hee
Doodly -dee -hee -dee -hee
Doodly -dee
If hard luck overtakes me,
and everything goes wrong,
I bear my burden with a smile,
sing my little song, the old lady.
And I laugh at all my troubles,
I never wear a brown.
So that's the way I'm I'll
make the world go round
Cause money
don't mean everything,
it only makes life gay
I didn't bring it to this world,
I won't Take it away,
the old lady, the old lady
