(jennie and her friends, in the backyard of the taylor home.)

money isn’t everything
what can money buy?
an automobile so you won’t get wet
champagne so you won’t get dry

money isn’t everything
what have rich folks got?
a florida home so you won’t get cold
a yacht so you won’t get hot
an orchid or two
so you won’t feel blue
if you have to go out at night
and maybe a jar of caviar
so your appetite won’t be light

oil tycoon and cattle king
radio troubadour
belittle the fun that their fortunes bring
and tell you that they are sure
money isn’t everything
money isn’t everything
money isn’t everything
unless you’re very poor!

can money make you honest?
can it teach you right from wrong?
can money keep you healthy?
can it make your muscles strong?

can money make your eyes red
the way they get from sewing?
can money make your back get sore
the way it gets from mowing?

can money make your hands get rough
as washing dishes does?
can money make you smell the way
that cooking fishes does?
it buys you gems and fancy clothes
and juicy steaks to carve
but it cannot build your character
or teach you how to starve!

money isn’t everything
if you’re rich, you pay
elizabeth arden to do your face
the night you attend a play

feeling like a bloom of spring
down the aisle you’ll float
a tiffany ring, and a cartier string
of pearls to adorn your throat

your carnegie dress
will be more or less
of a handkerchief ’round your hip
sewed onto you, so
that your slip won’t show
and whatever you show won’t slip!

to your creamy shoulders cling
ermines white as snow
then on to cafes where they sway and swing
you go with your wealthy beau
there you’ll hear a crooner sing
“money isn’t everything!”
money isn’t everything
as long as you have dough!
