I Wanna Be Rich

Look at me!
Just take a look at me
A minute ago
I didn't know my elbow from my ass

Ask simply anyone
I mean, go and ask anyone
They will tell you, I was greener than the grass
Ooh!

What a mess I was
Yes, I confess I was
Like a burbling bloody baby at the fount
You don't know the half of it
But now I just laugh at it
Because now I know exactly what I want

Ooh, I wanna be rich
With money to burn
About ten grand a week
Is what I oughta earn
I'd keep it in bundles
In case of a slump
I would spread largesse
And the IRS
Could take a running jump

I'll have all my suits made
A dozen a time
I'd buy all the best shares
Providing they climb
Give me half a chance
And a small advance
My fingers itch
To make me dirty rotten filthy stinkin' rich!

Here, Evie!
Wait up! (Watch the door!) Wait!

I wanna be rich
And live in L.A (big deal!)
Go crazy at nighttime
And sleep in the day (dumb spiel)
An Italian car
As long as a street
And the local broads
Will arrive in hordes
It will knock them off their feet!

Man, why don't you watch where you're going, you ugly jive turkey?
Let me -
I'm sorry, Madam

I wanna be famous
And be in the news
And date a T.V star
Whenever I choose
Give me half a chance
To lead a dance
And make my pitch
And I'll be dirty rotten filthy stinkin' rich

Would you excuse me, please, lady?
Get out of the way!
I gotta talk to this woman over here

I wanna be rich (he wants to be rich)
And mix with the nobs (and mix with the nobs)
And sit in the best seats
With all of the snobs (with all of the snobs)
I may go to Ascot
To take in the scene (to take in the scene)
In my grey top hat
And my spats and that
I'd be company for the Queen!

I don't think so

I wanna go traveling
To Cannes and Capri (to Cannes and Capri)
The French Riveria
Is my cup of tea (is his cup of tea)

Give me half a chance
In the south of France
With some rich bitch
And I'll be dirty rotten filthy stinkin'
Hear the silver dollars clinkin'
Lots of broads, lots of drinkin'
I can guess what you're all thinkin'
(Dirty rotten filthy stinkin' rich!)
I wanna be rich!
