If you got a Cadillac, boy
And a forty room shack, boy
A bucket full of money
And a tree full of honey
But if you're gettin' no huggin'
No smoochin' or muggin'
If you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'

If you're ridin' on a gravy train
'Stead of walkin' down a lovers lane
You can't make hay, boy
'Cause you're goin' the wrong way, boy
You gotta get a little honey
It's better than money
If you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'

If they call you a big man
'Cause you got a lot o' bottom land
If you're kin to the president
And you help run the government
But if you're gettin' no attention
You're better off on a pension
If you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'

If you got a string of long cars
And you're smokin' them four-bit cigars
You ain't so well to do
Unless you get a little choochy-coo
It takes a little bit of smackin'
Or your life's a-lackin'
If you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'
