Though hope is low
I’m aglow when you smile at me
Life is simple as A B C
Not a thought in my head
Not a care in the world

Though skies are gray
I’m as gay as a Disney cow
Not a wrinkle upon my brow
Not a cent in the red
Not a care in the world

I view the scene
Like that queen of old Russia
As Kate the Great
Used to state long ago
"Nichevo"

So if I move in a groove
With a giddy trot
I’m a trottin’ because I’ve got
Not a bean in my pot
Not a care in the world

Rent's overdue, my sister has measles
Hole in my shoe, my belt’s drawn tight
My income is nil, my in-laws are weasels
My present is dark, my future’s a fright
But as long as you are there
What in the world do I care?

Though I can’t jive
I revive when I see your face
Not a limp in my merry pace
Not a crimp in my style
Not a care in the world

Though I’m a wreck
I can peck if you take a chance
Not a shine on my blue serge pants
Not a crack in my smile
Not a care in the world

Why should I fret
When I bet on a sure thing?
Like Nick the Greek
Used to say every day
"Yip-i-ay"

So if I’m struttin’
With nuttin’ ahead in store
There’s a reason I said before
I’ll repeat it once more

Not a thought in my head
Not a cent in the red
Not a crimp in my style
Not a crack in my smile
Not a care in the world
