|'''Presumed Lyrics'''
|-
|'''(Intro)'''Down Wall Street no-one’s dancing, 'cause they haven’t got the time
Everybody’s tryin' to beat that clock

'''(Verse 1)'''

Well, I lost my automatic, on the 59th Street Bridge

But I do not feel a poor girl

You might say I’m kind of rich

But I don’t need that money alibi

'''(Chorus)'''

Why why why?

Why why why?

But there really are some good things, that money just can’t buy

Why why why?

Why why why?

Living your life for the dime with no aim is a crime

Tell me why!

Tell me why!

Beat that clock!

'''''(Scat Singing)'''''

Why why why?

Why why why?

Why why why?

Why why why?

Why why why?

Why why why?

But there really are some good things, that money just can’t buy

'''(Verse 2)'''

Well I’m bound to be a poor girl

When it comes to bank accounts

But I find out it is money

That makes the world go ‘round

And there’s love instead of cash within my eyes

'''(Chorus)'''

Why why why?

Why why why?

But there really are some good things, that money just can’t buy

Why why why?

Why why why?

Living your life for the dime with no aim is a crime

Beat that clock!

Why why why?

Why why why?

Why why why?

Why why why?

Why why why?

Why why why?

But there really are some good things, that money just can’t buy
