Say there,
if you are a vexed one,
a dreary, weary and perplexed one,
I've got trouble 'n'
he's got trouble 'n'
you're no better than the next one,
You will find
your share of bliss
if you'll just remember this:

You can't have ev'rything,
be satisfied with the little you may get;
You can't have ev'rything,
don't envy neighbours
and the fortunes they get.
Live and laugh,
and listen, don't be greedy
help the needy
and you've gotta get lucky,
you indeedy.
Poor man rich man
beggar or king,
you just can't have ev'rything,
so thank your stars above
for a song in your heart
a penny in your pocket
and someone in your arms to love.

You can't have ev'rything,
be satisfied with the little you may get;
You can't have ev'rything,
don't envy neighbours
and the fortunes they get.
Live and laugh,
and listen, don't be greedy
help the needy
and you've gotta get lucky,
you indeedy.
Poor man rich man
beggar or king,
you just can't have ev'rything,
so thank your stars above
for a song in your heart
a penny in your pocket
and someone in your arms to love.
