If I should ever run into a lot of money
|
Tell me would I move to New York City?
|
If I had an apartment with a view of that city,
|
Tell me would I see the stars above me?
|
If I had a room at the top of the Waldorf Astoria
|
Tell me would I still love ya?
|
If I was blinded by,
|
The sun through French windows
|
Would I watch your pose before them?
|
|
The Queen strolls down her hall
|
Missing the Rubens
|
Her shoes sound soft on the long rug from Yemen
|
She is plainly dressed excluding the diamond ring
|
Brought back from a long trip to Thailand
|
And rumor has it that she would rather be a farmer
|
Elizabeth would you toss off the tiara?
|
No more Balmora
|
No more Kentucky Derby
|
Now, mutts instead of Corgis
|
My love
|
Since I'll never have the chance to become the king of country
|
And common wealth
|
My love
|
If your heart was made of gold
|
Would I pluck it out
|
And melt it down
|
And be an American
|
And weld a crown?
|
|
A song like this today can sound pretty silly
|
The timings off
|
The set it set in simplicity
|
Today I'm nice
|
And today I'm not very wealthy
|
Don't underestimate money
|
My love
|
My love
|
My love
|
