Money Isn’t Everything

Lyrics

[MILLIE] Money isn't everything What can money buy? [JENNIE, HAZEL, DOT & ADDIE] An automobile so you won't get wet Champagne so you won't get dry [HAZEL] Money isn't everything What have rich folks got? [MILLIE, JENNIE, DOT & ADDIE] A Florida home so you won't get cold [JENNIE] A yacht so you won't get hot [DOT] An orchid or two So you won't feel blue If you have to go out at night [ADDIE] And maybe a jar of caviar So your appetite won't be light [JENNIE] Oil tycoon and cattle king Radio troubadour Belittle the fun that their fortunes bring And tell you that they are sure Money isn't everything [MILLIE, HAZEL, DOT & ADDIE] Money isn't everything [JENNIE] Money isn't everything Unless you're very poor! [MILLIE] Can money make you honest? Can it teach you right from wrong? [ADDIE] Can money keep you healthy? Can it make your muscles strong? [HAZEL] Can money make your eyes red The way they get from sewing? [DOT] Can money make your back get sore The way it gets from mowing? [MILLIE & HAZEL] Can money make your hands get rough As washing dishes does? [ADDIE & DOT] Can money make you smell the way That cooking fishes does? [JENNIE] It buys you gems and fancy clothes And juicy steaks to carve [MILLIE, HAZEL, DOT & ADDIE] But it cannot build your character Or teach you how to starve [MILLIE, JENNIE, HAZEL, DOT & ADDIE] Money isn't everything [MILLIE] If you're rich, you pay Elizabeth Arden to do your face The night you attend a play [HAZEL] Feeling like a bloom of spring Down the aisle you'll float A Tiffany ring and a Cartier string Of pearls to adorn your throat [ADDIE] Your Carnegie dress Will be more or less Of a handkerchief round your hip [DOT] Sewed onto you, so That your slip won't show [MILLIE, JENNIE, HAZEL, DOT & ADDIE] And whatever you show won't slip! [JENNIE] To your creamy shoulders cling Ermines white as snow Then on to cafes where they sway and swing You go with your wealthy beau [MILLIE, JENNIE, HAZEL, DOT & ADDIE] There you'll hear a crooner sing "Money isn't everything!" Money isn't everything As long as you have dough!
