Ain't Got No Dough

well,  I'm goin' to New York City
it's just 10, 000 miles
where the people are so pretty
& everybody's  wild

where a man can be a man or a woman
they hand out dough for free
& the winter never comes
'til you get  in the deep freeze

THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS TO TAKE YOUR PAY
I JUST FOUND ONE MORE
I LIVE EVERYDAY LIKE A MILLIONAIRE
'AN I AINT GOT NO DOUGH
I AINT GOT NO DOUGH

out in Queens the lights are shining
the days are long & right
the cops are on vacation
& the love's all day & night

I'm goin' cross to Brooklyn
see what it's all about
where all the pretty woman
stand on the roof and shout

THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS TO TAKE YOUR PAY
I  JUST FOUND ONE MORE
I LIVE EVERYDAY LIKE A MILLIONAIRE
'AN I AINT GOT NO DOUGH
I AINT GOT NO DOUGH

from Ray's Pizzeria
to the Hall of Carnegie
the Russian baths on Houston
to Yona's Knishery

it's worth a million dollars
never to be seen
ridin' up and down on Broadway
in a polka dotted limosine

THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS TO TAKE YOUR PAY
I'VE JUST FOUND ONE MORE
I LIVE EVERYDAY LIKE A MILLIONAIRE
'AN I AINT GOT NO DOUGH
I AINT GOT NO DOUGH
