Lyrics and translation
Original
If I were a rich man
With a million or two
I'd live in a penthouse
In a room, with a view
And if I were handsome
It could happen
'Cause dreams do come true
I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have you
Wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have
Wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have
Wouldn't have nothin'
For years I have envied
Your grace and your charm
Everyone loves you, you know?
Yes, I know, I know, I know
But I must admit it
Big guy, you always come through
I wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have you
You and me together
That's how it always should be
One without the other
Don't mean nothin' to me
Nothing to me
Yes, I wouldn't be nothin'
If I didn't have you to serve
I'm just a punky little eyeball
With an ugly little optic nerve
Hey, I never told you this
But, you know sometimes I get a little blue
And, I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have you
Dance with me
I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have you
I wouldn't know where to go
Wouldn't know what to do
I don't have to say it
'Cause we both know it's true
I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have
I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have
I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have
Wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have
You
Oh, hey? We're rehearsing a scene for the upcoming company play called uhm
"Put that thing back where it came from or so help me"
It's a musical, yeah
"Put that thing back where it came from or so help me" (pom, pom, pom)
So help me, so help me, end scene
