----------------------------------------------
By a country road wild roses
grow that need my special care,
So I haven't time to be a
millionaire.
And a cheerful brook on a
mountain side, is sad when I'm not there,
So I haven't time to be a
millionaire.
And a friendly gang of robins
are peeved when I forget,
That I'm the second tenor in
their quartet.
So with all the things I have to
do, I'm very much aware
If I wished for wealth it
wouldn't be quite fair
`Cause I haven't time to be a
millionaire.
