[Gm] [G]
A friend of mine called me up not long ago.
He knew me since I was knee-high to a grasshopper.
But I evidently didn't give him the right answer because he said to me,
[Dbm] [Eb] Mink, shmink, manish, [Gm] mani, [E] Think you're hot [Eb] now, don't [D] you, honey?
[E] What [Eb] have you got [E] if you [A] haven't got [D] love?
[E] Silk, [Eb] shmilk, satin, [Gm] schmatin, A [E] penthouse [Eb] high in old [D]
Manhattan.
[E] That's [Eb] not enough if [E] you [D] haven't [Gm] got love.
[Fm] [G] Happiness [D] is [G] not a thing that you [Cm] can buy.
[Ebm] It [F] takes lovin', lots of lovin' [Gm] from the [C] right [Bb]
guy.
[Gm] [Em] Pearls, [Eb] shmirls, and
[Gm] shmurmin' From Jim or [Eb] Jack or [D] Joe or [E] Herman.
That's [Eb] not enough [E] if you haven't [Gm] got love.
[Ab] [G]
[D] [Gm] Ring, shming, jewry, shmurry, Don't you know that's just [Em] tomfoolery?
What [Eb] have you got if [D] you haven't [Gm] got love?
Cars, [Cm] schmars, and prince [G]-ish minces [Bb] With [C]
caviar [Cm] and chicken [E] blintzes
[Eb] Don't mean a thing if [D] you haven't got [Gm] love.
[Fm] [G] Love is [D] just a [G] simple thing that you [Cm] can't [G] buy.
[Ebm] You [F] can't get [C] it wholesale, [F] [Gm] darlin'.
[D] Why try?
[G] Tips, schmips, [D] angle, [Gm] schmangle, Play [Eb] around and get entangled.
[E] What [Eb] have you got if [Am] you haven't [G] got, [D] [Gm]
haven't got love?
[G] [Eb]
[Bb]
[Gm] [D] I'll take the Jaguar on the right.
