C (7) F
All I want is 50 million dollars

And seal silk to protect me from the cold.

If I only knew how stocks would go in Wall Street

And were living in the mansion built of gold.

If I only owned Pennsylvania Railroad
C A
And if Tuesday Weld would only be my wife (Oh, Tiny!)

If I could only stay sixteen forever
CHORUS

Then I'd know that I'd be satisfied with life.
VERSE 2 (repeat verse 1 chords)
C F
All I want is wheatgerm for my breakfast
C A
A Champagne fountain sizzling at my feet
Dm Gm
While Rockefeller waiten on the table
G C7
And Lombardo's band playin' while I eat.
C F
If I only owned Western Union cable
C A7
And if Tuesday Weld would only be my wife (Tiny, I love you!)
PRE CHORUS
Dm Gm A#m
If I could only stay sixteen forever and ever and ever
CHORUS

Then I'd know that I'd be satisfied with life.
[spoken:]
C F
Hello, my dear friend,
C
Don't run away from all this world,
F
It's a great big beautiful world
With fabulous happy faces around
Dm
Well, I can see this one over here, you lovely thing,
Gm A#m F
Why, it's beautiful, it's clean, and it's calm and it's modern,
C F C
If I can have them all, why, I'll tell you, I'll tell you
F C F
Then I'd know that I'd be satisfied with life.
