Money Isn't Everything


too ra loo ra me doo dar me doo dah me dar
Play Fiddle me do da me doo dar me dar


As I went a walking on a summers day
Under the shade of trees swaying away
Ahead in the distance I heard a sound
Catching sight of a fellow leaping around

An Irish leprechaun he seemed to be
Someone different and new to me
Seeking Shamrocks and clover he had lost
Stolen by wind or covered by frost

I felt unsure of his words and manner
I watched him produce a small wooden hammer
He seemed to be sad, a great love he had lost
Stolen by wind or covered by frost

Money isn't everything but it can get you by
Happiness will appear  just give it a try


He spied me upon the river bank wide
Seeming happier now that I had arrived
He stopped all the ranting and jumping about
His Irish much milder, no longer a shout

He whispered if I helped,  great wealth would be mine
I said I would afford him some of my time
I helped where I could, not a stone left unturned
From where we began we both did return

Money isn't everything but it can get you by
Happiness will appear just give it a try

We found his great treasures plus a pot of gold
He left me with thoughts worth more than he told
Money isn't everything but it can get you by
Happiness will appear just give it a try


With no need for Money or pots of gold
I had a future yet to unfold
I have all my needs within my heart and soul
I hope he is happy with his pot of Gold

Money isn't everything but it can get you by
Happiness will appear just give it a try

Too ra loo ra me do da loo ray doo da 
Too ra loo ra me do da loo ray doo da 
Too la loo ra me do dah me doo da me dar.
