A Waste of Money (A Taste of Honey) Songtext
von Allan Sherman

I wanted to get
Some new girlfriends,
So I went and bought
A Mercedes Benz.
A waste of money!
Eight thousand bucks down the drain.

I thought the girls
Would get wild and reckless,
So I bought cultured pearls
And a diamond necklace.
A waste of money!
That cost me four thousand more.


They were returned,
I got no girls.
They repossessed
Both the car and the pearls.

I styled my hair
Just like Cary Grant′s.
Bought a pair
Of those new tight pants.
A waste of money!
Household Finance took my pants.

The female gender,
I just don't get it.
Just when I′m out
Of both cash and credit
I found a honey!
And this is what's funny,
She don't need my money,
She works for Household Finance.
