the man who only lives were 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 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

nice work if you can get it

and if you get it

oh won't you tell me how
