I’ve Still Got My Health lyrics – music and lyrics by Cole Porter, performed in Panama Hattie
I’m always a flop at a top-notch affair,
But I’ve still got my health, so what do I care?
My best ring, alas, is a glass solitaire,
But I still got my health, so what do I care?
By fashion and foppery, I’m never discussed.
Attending the opry, my box would be a bust.
I never shall have that Park Avenue aire,
But I’m in such health, why should I care?
The hip that I shake doesn’t make people stare,
But I got such health, what do I care?
The sight of my props never stops a thoroughfare,
But I still got my health, so what do I care?
Your face is your fortune, so some wise men spoke.
My face is my fortune, that’s why I’m totally broke.
My ship ain’t come in, but I grin while I bear,
’cause I got my vitamins:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H
I still have my.
Got no diamonds, got no wealth.
I got no men, but I got my health.
