If I Were You, Baby lyrics

I got ten zillion dollars, and nothing to do

I own Central Park, and California, too

Chicago and Buffalo are my states

And I forgot to mention the five Great Lakes

So if I were you, baby, I'd love me

You'd have maids and butlers, a big trust fund

A hundred carat ring that weighs a ton

A yacht, aeroplane, and nine special cooks

A thousand dresses, all new looks

So if I were you, baby, I'd love me

Hard times and blues, I don't know what they are

My trouble is spending money and eating caviar

I don't pay income tax because that's chicken feed

When the mint runs short, I ask them what they need

I'm the world's greatest lover that you've ever known

I'm better than Clark Gable or that guy, Tyrone

You'll never find a guy like me as long as you live

'Cause when I really give, I really give

So if I were you, baby, I'd love me

But let me pinch myself, to see if I'm awake

Before I give you that golden wedding cake

Ouch! I was asleep, so back to the job

For only thirty five bucks a week

Still if I were you, baby, I'd love me
