Que Lindo Es Ser Rico

You had no future with me
That's what your good family said
Now that I can fill their mouths
They cross themselves when they see me coming
Oh, how rich and lovely it is to be rich
This thing is starting to appeal to me

Proud of being a country boy
Everything I have, I earned by working
Every furrow you see on my hands
I made them by carrying the plow
Oh, how rich, how lovely it is to be rich
Every penny I made by sweating

Blessed sky
As long as you keep raining on the cornfield
For my people and good friends
God willing, there won't be a lack of food

Blessed sky
As long as I keep having your shelter
Oh, how rich, how lovely it is to be rich
This thing is starting to appeal to me

Now that I have, I have plenty of relatives
When I was poor, no one would even look at me
The women who ignored me yesterday
Today dream of being married to me
Oh, how rich, how lovely it is to be rich
This thing is starting to appeal to me

Blessed sky
As long as you keep raining on the cornfield
For my people and good friends
God willing, there won't be a lack of food

Blessed sky
As long as I keep having your shelter
Oh, how rich, how lovely it is to be rich
This thing is starting to appeal to me
