Cliff Richard - Why Wasn't I Born Rich lyrics

Well, I’ve worn a suit for year of two I got brand new holes in my old, old shoes My shirts are torn my socks don’t match And my throat get soar from the cold I catch Why, why, why wasn’t I born rich Why, why, why wasn’t I born rich Well, I met this girl by the year last may Took me home to see what her folks would say Her father said, as he threw me out What you don’t afford you must do without Why, why, why wasn’t I born rich Yeah, why, why, why wasn’t I born rich They say that money can’t buy you love But love is the thing I got plenty of I’ve got my happiness and the health Now all I’m short of is the wealth Hey, why, why, why wasn’t I born rich Why, why, why wasn’t I born rich They say that money can’t buy you love But love is the thing I got plenty of I’ve got my happiness and the health Now all I’m short of is the wealth Hey, why, why, why wasn’t I born rich Got to work so hard for the pay I get And I try to save, but I ain’t done yet The trouble is that it costs a lot To get all the things that you haven’t got Why, why, why wasn’t I born rich Yeah, why, why, why wasn’t I born rich Tell me, why, why, why wasn’t I born rich
