Rich girls don’t marry poor boys they say
So mind that your eyes do not drift astray
Be happy with only what you have today
And forget foolish dreams of someday

Rich girls don’t marry poor boys they say
The Prince and the Pauper pure fallacy
Cinderella’s story only goes one way
So carry on poor boy, be on your way

Rich girls don’t marry poor boys they say
So driven in by conformed society
Professed so much how can it not be?
So, poor boy, don’t let your heart astray

Rich girls don’t marry poor boys they say
They’ll keep their eyes high and away
So don’t bother looking up today
Continue on, find your own way

So poor boy, defeated, carries on his way
Rich girl won’t marry poor boy today
But one backward glance brings back hope
Rich girls don’t listen anyway
