I'd rather be
a dreamer with a penny
Than a rich man
with a worried mind
Here I am with wealth untold
The moonlight is my silver
the sunshine is my gold
I'd rather have a shanty
filled with laughter
Than a palace
someone's tears designed
Lady luck and I
keep walking hand in glove
Got a gal who loves me
for nothing but my love
I'd rather be
a dreamer with a penny
Than a rich man
with a worried mind
