Lyrics

Young and rich

Youthful and wealthy

Everything I desire

All the things I want

Light bulbs with shades

Light fixtures with coverings

In every room

In every living space

And work is play--believe me

Work feels like play; easy success

Nothing must come too hard

Nothing should be overly challenging

It comes in the mail

Arrives through mail frequently

Most everyday

Almost daily


I could respect a man who had it all

Admire a person with complete success

And he'd toss the ball away

He would casually discard opportunities

I know I'm not that kind

But I'm not that type of person

I wouldn't mind to

Yet, I wouldn't mind if chances came my way

Have a chance thrown my way


Famous friends

Famous companions

Big parties for me

Lavish parties for me

Every night like tonight

Every night, resembling tonight

Am I a fool to want it all

Questioning if wanting everything is foolish


I could respect a man who had it all

And he'd toss the ball away

Similar to line 11

Because you know I'm not that kind

Similar to line 12

I wouldn't mind to

Similar to line 13

Have a chance thrown my way

Similar to line 14


Young and rich

Repetition of line 1

With everything I desire

Reiteration of line 2

Everything I need

-

In every room

Reiteration of lines 3 and 4


With everything I desire

Reiteration of line 2

Filling every room

Continuation of line 3 and 4

Everything I need--and maybe

Everything I require, possibly including unnecessary items

Some more things I don't need, you know

Similar to line 19

Filling every room

Continuation of line 33

Everything I need

Continuation of line 29

Filling every room

Reiteration of line 33
