SHARON
When de idle poor
Become the idle rich
You'll never know
just who is who
or who is witch.
Won't it be rich
When everyone's poor relative
Becomes a "Rockefellative",
and pans no longer itch
What a switch!
FEMALE ENSEMBLE
When we all have Ermine
And have plastic teeth
How will we determine
Who's who underneath?
MALE ENSEMBLE
And when all your neighbours
are upper class
- You won't know your 'georges'
from your 'astors'.
SHARON
Let's toast the day
The day we drink that drinkie up
But with a little pinkie up.

The day on witch
The idle poor
Become the idle rich
SHARON
When a rich man doesn't want to work
He's a bon vivant.
COMPANY

SHARON
But when a poor man doesn't want to work,
He's a laughter, he's a lounger
he's a lazier good for nothing
COMPANY
He's a jerk!
SHARON
When a rich man looses on a horse
Oh, isn't it disport!
COMPANY
Oh, isn't it disport!
SHARON
When a poor man looses on a horse
He's a gambler, he's a spender
He's a low life, he's a reason for divorce!
When a rich man chases after dames
He's a man about town,
A man about town.
But when a poor man chases after dames
He's a bounder, he's a rounder
He's a rotter, and a lot of dirty names!
COMPANY
You'll never know
just who is witch.
When de idle poor
Become the idle rich.
