Why Wasn't I Born Rich

(アルバム： Cinderella - 1967)

Well, I've worn a suit for year of two
I got brand new holes in my old, old shoes
My shirts are torn my socks don't match
And my throat get soar from the cold I catch
Why, why, why wasn't I born rich
Why, why, why wasn't I born rich

Well, I met this girl by the year last may
Took me home to see what her folks would say
Her father said, as he threw me out
What you don't afford you must do without
Why, why, why wasn't I born rich
Yeah, why, why, why wasn't I born rich

They say that money can't buy you love
But love is the thing I got plenty of
I've got my happiness and the health
Now all I'm short of is the wealth
Hey, why, why, why wasn't I born rich

Why, why, why wasn't I born rich

They say that money can't buy you love
But love is the thing I got plenty of
I've got my happiness and the health
Now all I'm short of is the wealth
Hey, why, why, why wasn't I born rich

Got to work so hard for the pay I get
And I try to save, but I ain't done yet
The trouble is that it costs a lot
To get all the things that you haven't got
Why, why, why wasn't I born rich
Yeah, why, why, why wasn't I born rich
Tell me, why, why, why wasn't I born rich
