Ten Cents and You

Some people say that the way to be happy
Is to work night and day for fortune and fame.
But I know there’s no way that could ever make me happy.
No rush from mere riches, no frisson of fame
Can compare to the feeling I feel
When you call my name.

If I had a dime, I’d be rich as Rockefeller
With my ten cents and you.
Yeah, if I had a dime, I’d be the world’s most happy fella’
With my ten cents and you.

If I had a dime, I’d be rich as Rockefeller
With my ten cents and you.
Yeah, if I had a dime, I’d be the world’s most happy fella’
With my ten cents and you.

If I had a million dollars in the bank, I’d have a million things that I needed to do.
Now that I’m broke, my situation is Oke.
I’ve got a million hours to spend with you.

If I had a dime, I’d be rich as Rockefeller
With my ten cents and you.
Yeah, if I had a dime…
Just one thin dime…
With just a dime in my pocket, I’d be the richest guy in all the world,
With you.
