WITH PLENTY OF MONEY AND YOU
Count Basie


Well, baby, what I couldn't do
With plenty of money and you. 
In spite of the worry that money brings.
Just a little filthy looker (lucre?) buys a lot of things. 
And I could take you to places that you would like to go. 
But outside of that, I've no use for dough. 
It's the root of all evil, 
Of strife and upheaval.
But I'm certain, honey, that life would be sunny
With plenty of money and you. 

It's the root of all evil, 
Of strife and upheaval. 
But I'm certain, honey, that life would be sunny
With plenty of money and you
