Ladies and gentlemen I present to you a man He has travelled far and wide He might not have a shelling to his name But he has a song in his heart
He is the penniless optimist
Jute-bar-di-bi-dura-da-pa-pa-ri-pu-di-pa-pa Got no carriage but he´s got his song Jute-bar-di-bi-dura-da-pa-pa-ri-pu-di-pa-pa Got no silver but he´s got his... Don´t care, but he´s at me Don´t want answer me free Got nothing but he´s got his soul Jute-bar-di-bi-dura-da-pa-pa-ri-pu-di-pa-pa Got no money but he´s got his soul
Now, this is the part of the record Where you go crazy Cast aside your worries Cast aside your problems And dance like you don´t care!
(Got no money but he´s got his soul) Got no carriage but he´s got his song Jute-bar-di-bi-dura-da-pa-pa-ri-pu-di-pa-pa Got no silver but he´s got his... Don´t have, but he´s at me Don´t want answer me free Got no depots but he´s got his song Got no money but he´s got his soul Got no money but he´s got his soul (Got no money but he´s got his soul) (Got no money but he´s got his soul) (Got no money but he´s got his soul)
