Don't need no palace paved with gold
Don't need more cash than banks can hold
When I get to feelin' a feelin'
For something there ain't too much of
My sweet li'l darlin' gives me her love
 
Don't catch me chasin' round at night
I'm not impressed by glamour sights
Li'l darlin' may not be as pretty 
As some other gals you can see
But my li'l darlin' only loves me
