| Mister Rich Man, Rich Man |
| Open up your heart and mind |
| Mister Rich Man, Rich Man |
| Open up your heart and mind |
| Give the poor man a chance |
| Help stop these hard, hard time |
| While you livin' in your mansion |
| You don’t know what hard time means |
| While you livin' in your mansion |
| You don’t know what hard time means |
| Oh, workin' man’s wife is starvin' |
| Your wife is livin' like a queen |
| Please, listen to my pleadin' |
| 'Cause I can’t stand these hard time long |
| Oh, listen to my pleadin' |
| Can’t stand these hard time long |
| They’ll make an honest man do things |
| That you know is wrong |
| All man fought all the battles |
| All man would fight again today |
| All man fought all the battles |
| All man would fight again today |
| He would do anything you ask him |
| In the name of the U.S.A |
| Now the war is over |
| All man must live the same as you |
| Now the war is over |
| All man must live the same as you |
| If it wasn’t for the poor man |
| Mister Rich Man what would you do? |
