| Gee, but it’s tough to be broke, kid
|
| It’s not a joke, kid, it’s a curse
|
| My luck is changing, it’s gotten from
|
| Simply rotten to something worse
|
| Who knows, some day I will win too
|
| I’ll begin to reach my prime
|
| Now though I see 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 awhile, scheme awhile
|
| We’re sure to find
|
| Happiness and I guess
|
| All those things you’ve always pined for
|
| Gee I’d like to see you looking swell, baby
|
| Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn’t sell, baby
|
| Till that lucky day you know darned well, baby
|
| I can’t give you anything but love
|
| Rome wasn’t built in a day, kid
|
| You have to pay, kid, for what you get
|
| But I am willing to wait, dear
|
| Your little mate, dear, will not forget
|
| You have a lifetime before you
|
| I’ll adore you, come what may
|
| Please don’t be blue for the present
|
| When it’s so pleasant to hear you say
|
| I can’t give you anything but love, baby
|
| That’s the only thing I’ve plenty of, baby
|
| Dream awhile, scheme awhile
|
| We’re sure to find
|
| Happiness and I guess
|
| All those things you’ve always pined for
|
| Gee I’d like to see you looking swell, baby
|
| Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn’t sell, baby
|
| Till that lucky day you know darned well, baby
|
| I can’t give you anything but love |
