How Can Love Survive?

In all the famous love affairs
The lovers have to struggle
In garret rooms away upstairs
The lovers starve and snugggle
They’re famous for misfortune which
They seem tohave no fear of
While lovers who are very rich
You very seldom hear of
No little shack does he share with me
We do not flee from a mortgagee
Nary a care in the world have we
How can love survive?
He’s fond of bonds and he ows a lot
I have a plane and a diesel yacht
Plenty of nothing you haven’t got!
How can love survive?
No rides for us on the top of a bus
In the face of the freezing breezes
You reach your goals in your comfy old Rolls
Or in one of your Mercedes-es!
Far, very far off the beam are we
Quaint and bizarre as a team are we
Two millionaires with a dream are we
We’re keeping romance alive
Two millionaries with a dream are we
We’ll make our love survive…
How can I shw what I feel for him
I cannot go out and steal for him
I cannot die like Camile for him
How can love survive?
You millionaires with financial affairs
Are too busy for simple pleasure
When you are poor it is toujours l’amour
For l’amour all the poor have leisure!
Caught in our gold platted chains are we
Lost in our wealthy domains are we
Trapped by our capital gains are we
But we’ll keep romance alive
Trapped by your capital goals are you
We’ll make our love
Survive!
