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 worse
Who knows, some day I will win too
I'll begin to reach my prime
Now, though, I see what our end is
All I can spend is just my time
I can't give you anything, but love, baby
And that's the only thing I have plenty of, baby
Dream awhile, scheme awhile
And we're sure to find happiness
And I guess all those things we've always pined for
Gee, I'd like to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby
'Til that lucky day you know darned well, baby
I can't give you anything but love
I can't give you anything but love, baby
That's the only thing I have plenty of, baby
Dream awhile, scheme awhile, babe
You're sure to find happiness
And I guess all those things that you know I'm pining for
Gee, I'd like to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby
'Til that lucky day you know darned well, baby
I can't give you anything but-
