A poor man wants the oyster
a rich man wants the pearl

he's the king of the whole wide world
come on let's sing, sing brother sing
'cos the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
he's the king of the whole wide world
the rich man wants the princess
the poor man just wants a girl
but the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
he's the king of the whole wide world
come on let's sing, sing brother sing
'cos the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

a poor man wants to be a rich man
a rich man wants to be a king
but the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
he's the king of the whole wide world
come on let's sing, sing brother sing
'cos the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
he's the king of the whole wide world
