Money Marbles and Chalk

(Pop Eckler)



Money, marbles and chalk sweetheart

But I still feel like I'm poor

'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll

And my chalk it don't ride anymore.



Now there's an old saying that's been all around

I heard it before I could walk

How some's got health and some's got wealth

Others money, marbles and chalk.



Money, marbles and chalk sweetheart

But I still feel like I'm poor

'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll

And my chalk it don't ride anymore.



While you were near me I was happy and gay

Your presence made me feel so proud

But now that you left me it's a lonely old world

And I feel I'm alone in a crowd.



Money, marbles and chalk sweetheart

But I still feel like I'm poor

'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll

And my chalk it don't ride anymore.



Now the money and marbles and chalk

Are just fine for a miser who loves only gold

But just give me a chance to say our romance

'Cause I love you with all of my soul.



Money, marbles and chalk sweetheart

But I still feel like I'm poor

'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll

And my chalk it don't ride anymore.



(Now everybody) money, marbles and chalk sweetheart

But I still feel like I'm poor

'Cause my money won't spend and my marbles won't roll

And my chalk it don't ride anymore...
