I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
              C            F               C           F
And when it's cold outside, I've got the month of May

I've got so much honey, the bees envy me
              C                F                      C       F
I've got a sweeter song (baby), than the birds in the trees

I've got all the riches, baby, one man can claim
