As recorded by DICK POWELL:


I have never envied folks with money
Millionaires don't get along so well
I have you, but haven't any money
Still the combination would be swell

Oh, baby, what I couldn't do-oo-ooo
With plenty of money and you-oo-ooo
In spite of the worry that money brings
Just a little filthy lucre buys a lot of things
 
And I could take you to places you'd 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 could be sunny
With plenty of money and you

(Orchestral Break)

Oh, baby, what I couldn't do-oo-ooo
With plenty of money and you
In spite of the worry that money brings
Just a little filthy lucre buys a lot of things
 
And I could take you to places you'd 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 could be sunny
With plenty of money and you

As recorded by THE INK SPOTS:


Oh, baby, what I couldn't do-oo-ooo
With plenty of money and you-oo-ooo
In spite of the worry that money brings
Just a little filthy lucre buys a lot of things
 
And I could take you to places you'd 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

Yes, yes, oh, brownskin baby, what I couldn't do
With a pocketful of money and you, yeah
In spite of the worry money brings, yeah
Just a little filthy lucre buys a whole lot of things

I could take you to places that you would like to go
Outside of that, brownskin, I've got no use for dough
It's the root of all evil, of strife and upheaval
But I'm certain, brownskin, I've got you under my skin
With a pocketful of money and you

(Guitar Solo)

Oh, baby, what I couldn't do-oo-ooo
With plenty of money and you-oo-ooo
In spite of the worry that money brings
Just a little filthy lucre buys a lot of things
 
And I could take you to places you'd 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
Sunny, honey, money and you, yeah!
