We never go driving after dark
In a stately limousine
We'd rather sit down in Centrl park
On a bench that's nice and clean
We never go to a floor show
The Ballet we don't get
We never heard Callas singing opera
At the Met.

I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre and never comes late
I never bothers with people I hates
That's why the lady is a tramp
(Whistling)
Hates California, it's so cold and so damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

It's only a shanty in old Shanty Town
Your roof is so slanty it touches the ground.
But my tumbled down shack by an old railroad track,
Like a millionaire's mansion is calling me back
I'd give up a palace if I were a king.
It's more than a palace, it's my everything
There's a queen waiting there with a silvery crown
In a shanty in old Shanty Town

Though there's nothing in the lauder
Don't we have fun
Things are hard and getting harder
Still we have fun
There's nothing surer
The rich get rich and the poor get nothing
In the meantime, in between time
Ain't we got fun

Oh I'm sitting high on a hilltop
Tossing all my troubles to the moon
Where the breeze seems to say don't you worry
Things are bound to pick up pretty soon
Here near the sky on a hilltop
Seems to me the world is all in tune
I forgot all the hustle and hurry
Tossing all my troubles to the moon

In the big rock candy mountains
There's a land that's fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out ev'ry night
Where the boxcars are all empty
Where the sun shines ev'ry day
On the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

There's a lake of stew and whisky too
You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Oh I don't know where I heard this funny little song
I only remember we were travelling along
So I go on and keep-a singing this song
Just as long as your by my side

Oh we ain't got a barrel of money
Maybe were ragged and funny
But we travel along
Singing a song
Side by side

Through all kinds of weather
What if the sky should fall
Just as long as we're together
It doesn't matter at all

When they've all had their quarrels and parted
We'll be the same as we started
Just travlin' along singin' our song
Side by side

It doesn't matter at all
If we haven't the rent
It doesn't matter at all
If we haven't a cent
It doesn't matter at all
If we live in a tent
If we are
Side by side

Side by side
Side by side
Side by side, dear
When we're travelling side by side
When we're travelling side by side.
