Well, You Needn't Lyrics

The man who only lives for making money

Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny

 

Likewise the man who works for fame

There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name

 

The fact is the only work that really brings enjoyment

 

Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant

 

Fall in love and you won't regret it

 

That's the best work of all if you can get it

 

Holding hands at midnight

 

'Neath a starry sky

 

Nice work if you can get it

 

And you can get it if you try

 

Strolling with the one girl

 

Sighing sigh after sigh

Nice work if you can get it

 

And you can get it if you try

 

Just imagine someone

Waiting at the cottage door

 

Where two hearts become one

 

Who could ask for anything more

 

Loving one who loves you

 

And then taking that vow

 

It's nice work if you can get it

 

 

And if you get it won't you tell me how
