If You're So Smart How Come You Ain't Rich lyrics by Louis Jordan

How Come U aint Rich
As by Louie Jorden

You Braggin bout all the things you can do, every time you make a pitch
If your so smart, how come you aint rich

You claim to have picked every horse that has won,
cause you know just which is which
If your so smart, how come you aint rich

Henry built a ford and made his pile,
Woolworth used his 5 and 10
Rockefellers wealth came from standing oil,
and watermen�s came from his pen

You claim it all came from consultin you, isn�t that a brand new switch
If your so smart, how come you aint rich

Middle sax

Middle 8

Mention work and you go beserk, cause you hate to do a stitch
If your so smart, now, how come you aint rich

You out for the ride on the road to fame, yet you wind up in a ditch
If your so smart, tell me, how come you aint rich

Hershey started with a chocolate bar, Wrigley with a stick of gum
Planters took his peanuts and travelled far,
Now tell me what you doin chum

I been hearin bout all your big ideas, since you started whats the hitch

You aint never made ten dollars yet,
Still you say you can balance the national debt

If your so smart, how come you aint rich
