We got an apartment On center avenue With whitewashed walls & wooden floors It's custom built for two And we might not have a table or a bed frame We'll make do No one's ever been as rich as me and you We drink sparkling water As if it were champagne And toast ourselves to all our wealth Like "here's to happy days" Oh our credit card's in debt Because the rent here is insane But there's nothing that I would trade for me and you I'm not trying to deny All the things money can buy Wouldn't it be nice But we've got time enough to spend Yeh we still got our whole lives yet So maybe down the line We'll be so much older Buying fancy shoes And catching cabs with shopping bags down Melrose avenue And we'll toast ourselves to all our wealth Like "look how much we grew" Yeh no one's ever been as rich as me and you
