Lyrics
I can’t be like some folks
Always fancy free
I keep pretty busy
I’ve got my job, you see
Chorus
By a country road wild roses grow
That need my special care
So, I haven’t time to be a millionare
And a cheerful brook on a mountain side
Is sad when I’m not there
So, I haven’t time to be a millionare
And a friendly gang of robins
Are peeved when I forget
That I’m the second tenor in their quartet
So, with all the things I have to do
I’m very much aware
If I wished for wealth, it wouldn’t be quite fair
‘Cause I haven’t time to be a millionaire
