IF I WAS A MILLIONAIRE
(Music: Gus Edwards / Lyrics: Will D. Cobb - 1910)


Bing Crosby (feat. in the film "The Star Maker") - 1939
Richard Monda (feat. in the film "The Eddie Cantor Story") - 1953


If I was a millionaire, kids
If I was a millionaire
There wouldn't be nothin' too good in the world
For me and my pals to share

Now, don't tell me I'm shootin' hot air, kids
But here's what I'd do on the square
If I was a real live, regular, first class
Cross-my-heart millionaire

I'd buy up ev'ry schoolhouse in the nation
I'd write upon the blackboard big and clear
Instead of one, there will be two vacations
Each vacation six months twice a year

Oh, there wouldn't be no school when it was rainin'
I'd let you stay at home when it was fair
You'd have free soda fountains
Say, I'd build you ice cream mountains
If I was a millionaire
