Who wants to be a millionaire? I don't Have flashy flunkies everywhere? I don't Who wants the bother of a country estate? A country estate is something I'd hate Who wants to wallow in champagne? I don't Who wants a supersonic plane? I don't And I don't, 'cause all I want is you Who wants to be a millionaire? I don't Who wants uranium to spare? I don't Who wants to journey on a gigantic yacht? Do I want a yacht? Oh, how I do not Who wants a fancy foreign car? I don't Who wants to tire of caviar? I don't Who wants a marble swimming pool too? I don't And I don't 'cause all I want is you Who wants to be a millionaire? I don't And go to every swell affair? I don't Who wants to ride behind a liveried chauffeur? A liveried chauffeur, do I want? No sir! Who wants an opera box, I'll bet? I don't And sleep through Wagner at the Met I don't Who wants to corner Cartiers too? I don't And I don't 'cause all I want is you
