Big money don't count for a happy life
Big money don't count for a happy life
Little man with a big heart
Little man with a big heart
Make a happy wife
Make a happy wife
I said, big money don't count for a happy life
I said, big money don't count for a happy life
Little man with a big heart
Little man with a big heart
Make a happy wife
Make a happy wife
He's a simple man in a foreign land
He's a simple man in a foreign land
Every day he works for today
Every day he works for today
For the future he cannot say
For the future he cannot say
He's livin' the real one underneath his skin
He's livin' the real one underneath his skin
He got an itch he need to find
He got an itch he need to find
A real woman to stay alive
A real woman to stay alive
Big money don't count for a happy life
Big money don't count for a happy life
Little man with a big heart
Little man with a big heart
Make a happy wife
Make a happy wife
I said, big money don't count for a happy life
I said, big money don't count for a happy life
Little man with a big heart
Little man with a big heart
Make a happy wife, yeah
Make a happy wife, yeah
(You know what I'm talking about)
(You know what I'm talking about)
She's a simple soul, yeah, in a foreign home
She's a simple soul, yeah, in a foreign home
Clean the floor, clean the plate
Clean the floor, clean the plate
Simple life for a simple fate
Simple life for a simple fate
Work is good, pay is okay
Work is good, pay is okay
All she wants is a man
All she wants is a man
Who'll let her in his heart one day
Who'll let her in his heart one day
Big money don't count for a happy life
Big money don't count for a happy life
Little man with a big heart
Little man with a big heart
Make a happy wife
Make a happy wife
I said, big money don't count for a happy life
I said, big money don't count for a happy life
Little man with a big heart
Little man with a big heart
Make a happy wife, yeah
Make a happy wife, yeah
Big money don't count, oh
Big money doesn't matter, oh
Big money don't count, oh
Big money doesn't matter, oh
Big money don't count for a happy life
Big money doesn't matter for a happy life
