Widow Twankey's Song (1992 - Remaster) - Norrie Paramor & His Orchestra

Whether you're rich whether you're poor

It's always nice to have money

Whether it rains or whether it shines

It's always nice if it's sunny

Why don't we get together

And double all of our money

And if you would marry me

We'd be much more than just chummy

Married to you it's not so good

You know that's all that I'm short of

Seeing your face every day

Is not the life that I've thought of

Why should we get together

I would not be so foolish

I will not marry you

You're not much more than plain foolish

Look at me now now that I'm rich

I'm simply weighed down with money

Diamonds and gold rubies and pearls

My life is all milk and honey

Champagne the best caviar

Served on fine golden platters

Besides marry is so congruent

You're just tangling tah-tahs

Well I can see that you are rich

But I tell you that I am richer

As for my robes siamese silk

I think I look a fine picture

I have hundreds of servants

Waiting at my beckon call

And if I clap my hands in they'd come

At my feet they'd fall

I've got a house and acres of land

With lovely parkland around it

Well my bathroom just one bathroom

Would very easily surround it

So now we both can see that

We don't need each other

Why don't we string along

Just like sister and brother
