Men of good fortune

Often cause empires to fall

While men of poor beginnings

Often can't do anything at all

The rich son waits for his father to die

The poor just drink and cry

And me I just don't care at all

Men of good fortune

Very often can't do a thing

While men of poor beginnings

Often can do anything

At heart they try to act like a man

Handle things the best way they can

They have no rich daddy to fall back on

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

Often cause empires to fall

While men of poor beginnings

Often can't do anything at all

It takes money to make money they say

Look at the Fords
But didn't they start that way

Anyway it makes no difference to me

Men of good fortune

Often wish that they could die

While men of poor beginnings

Want what they have

And to get it they'll die

All those great things
That live has to give

They wanna have money and live

But me I just don't care at all

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings

Men of good fortune

Men of poor beginnings
