Sangtekst: Jimmy Dean. Money Marbles And Chalk.

Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart
But I still feel like I'm poor
'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll
And my chalk, it don't ride anymore

Now there's an old saying that's been all around
I heard it before I could walk
How some's got health and some's got wealth
Others money, marbles and chalk

Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart
But I still feel like I'm poor
'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll
And my chalk, it don't ride anymore

While you were near me I was happy and gay
Your presence made me feel so proud
But now that you left me, it's a lonely old world
And I feel I'm alone in a crowd

Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart
But I still feel like I'm poor
'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll
And my chalk, it don't ride anymore

Now the money and marbles and chalk are just fine
For a miser who loves only gold
But just give me a chance to say our romance
'Cause I love you with all of my soul

Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart
But I still feel like I'm poor
'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll
And my chalk, it don't ride anymore

Now everybody
Money, marbles and chalk, sweetheart
But I still feel like I'm poor
'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll
And my chalk, it don't ride anymore
