I'd rather be a dreamer with a penny   Than a rich man with a worried mind   Here I am with wealth untold   The moonlight is my silver the sunshine is my gold      I'd rather have a shanty filled with laughter   Than a palace someone's tears designed   Lady luck and I keep walking hand in glove   Got a gal who loves me for nothing but my love   I'd rather be a dreamer with a penny   Than a rich man with a worried mind      I'd rather have a shanty filled with laughter   Than a palace someone's tears designed   Lady luck and I keep walking hand in glove   Got a gal who loves me for nothing but my love   I'd rather be a dreamer with a penny   Than a rich man with a worried mind
