Mink, Schmink

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:

Mink Schmink, Money Schmoney

Think your hot now don't ya honey.

What have you got if you haven't got love

Silk Schmilk, Satin Schmatin

A penthouse high in old Manhattan

That's not enough if you haven't got love

Happiness is not a thing that you can buy

It takes loving, lotsa loving, from the right guy

Pearls Schmearls, Nermen Shmermen

From Jim or Jack or Joe or Herman

That's not enough if you haven't got love

Ring Schming, Jewellery Schmellery

Don't you know that's just Tom Foolery

What have you got if you haven't got love

Cars Schmars and Princes Schminces

With caviar and chicken blintzes

Don't mean a thing if you haven't got love

Love is just a simple thing that you can't buy

You can't get it wholesale darlin', why try?

Tips Schmips, Angle Schmangle

Play around and get entangled

What have you got if you haven't got, haven't got love?

I'll take the jaguar on the right
