Lend me a dollar
This is Fabuville!
I've got plenty a dime of my own.
Leave me alone
Mrs. Vanderbilt
I've got plenty of time of my own.
Lend me a dollar
This is Washington!
I've got plenty a dime of my own.
Leave me alone
Mrs. Washington
I've done plenty of time on my own.
Once the years are borying!
Once the years are borying!
Once the years are anything!
What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying?
What's the use of anything?
Editor's note: Even though "Vanderbilt" is an obvious correct spelling, the actual name in this song title is "Vandebilt" (no 'R').
You don't need money
You don't mean ranch
You don't even know the time
But you know why!
You don't use money
You don't pay rent
You don't ever know the time
But you don't mind!
