Lyrics: (Separate Lyrics)
Gee but it's tough to be broke kid,
It's not a joke kid,
It's a curse,
My luck is changing it's gotten from simply rotten
To something worst;
Who knows someday I will win too
I'll begin to reach my pride
Now that I see what our end is
All can spend is just my time.
I can't give you anything but love, baby,
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby.
Dream a while, scheme a while,
We're sure to find
Happiness and, I guess,
All those things you've always pined for.
Gee I'd like to see you looking swell,
My little baby,
Diamond bracelets Woolworth's doesn't sell, baby.
Till that lucky day you know darn well, baby,
I can't give you anything but love.
