This world is filled with many kinds of people Most of them so poor they can hardly pay the rent
And then there's another kind, lots of funny people Too many dollars, not enough cents
Rich man's son goes away to college Has such fun, all work and all play
He's not there for getting any knowledge He'll have his daddy's business someday
Rich boy fails and daddy wonders what he did Chewing his nails, all nervous and tense
Never figures out that the trouble was he gave the kid Too many dollars, not enough cents
Poor little rich girl, young and so beautiful Marries old man with foot in the grave
Marries in for money, now she's gonna spend it all
Gonna throw away every dollar he saved
Then wakes up one morning all useless Pretty girl gone and money all spent
Was it his fault for turning her loose With too many dollars, not enough cents
Indian live all like in reservation All he know is sweating and toil
White men come and dig on reservation Poke around and bring them up oil
All he know is sweating and toil White men come and dig on reservation
Indian rich now, gotta have a Cadillac Him buy five and a Mercedes Benz
Takes to reservation, park them all back to back
Too many dollars, not enough cents
This world is filled with many kinds of people Most of them so poor they can hardly pay the rent
And then there's another kind, lots of funny people Too many dollars, not enough cents
Too many dollars, not enough cents
This world is full of funny people Most of them so poor they can hardly pay the rent
