I've got bills to pay

I've got bills to pay
comic song by Angela Lansbury

I've got bills to pay
Yes, I've got bills to pay
There's only one thing I can say
Honey, I've got bills to pay

You're not the kind romantics sigh on
But you're the one that I rely on
Because I've got bills to pay
Yes, I've got bills to pay

You ask me if I care
Yes, I've got a lot to share
Seeing you has made my day
Because I've got bills to pay

I love the way you do accounts
And you earn such large amounts
And you pass some crumbs my way
When I've got lots of bills to pay

Yes, what gives me great delight
And what helps me sleep at night
Is the lovely things you say
When I've got bills to pay

They ask what I see in you
And they ask me what you do
The only thing that I can say
Is you earn a lot of pay

There's a lot that I could say
About the way we pass the day
But what's important is you help
When I've got bills to pay.

I would love to reward you

With a gold coin or two

Instead I've chocolate gold coins

I hope that that will do.
