Lyric
Let’s sing along with the lyrics!
If you got a Cadillac, boyAnd a forty room shack, boyA bucket full of moneyAnd a tree full of honeyBut if you’re gettin’ no huggin’No smoochin’ or a muggin’If you ain’t lovin’Then you ain’t livin’If you’re ridin’ on a gravy trainInstead of walkin’ down lovers laneYou can’t make hay, boy‘Cause you’re goin’ the wrong way, boyYou gotta get a a little honeyIt’s better than moneyIf you ain’t lovin’Then you ain’t livin’If they call you a big man‘Cause you got a lot of bottled landIf you’re kin to the PresidentAnd you help from the governmentBut if you’re gettin’ no attentionYou’re better off on the pensionIf you ain’t lovin’Then you ain’t livin’If you got a string of long cardsAnd you’re smokin’ them 4-bit cigarsYou ain’t so well to doUnless you get a little coochy-cooIt takes a little bit a smackin’Or your life’s lackin’If you ain’t lovin’Then you ain’t livin’
