Best Things Lyrics

Best Things Text

---

Clint:
The earth is pure muck

Lee:
Muck's a good thing

Clint:
And oozing with mud

Lee:
Mud is just fine

Clint:
It's drownin' in bog

Lee:
Bog is good luck

Clint:
And crawlin' with crud

Lee:
Crud's a good sign
The poor, they got hope
The rich can buy soap

Clint:
The rainbows, they got a pot of
And I, ain't got a spot of
A few feet down, there's a lot of

Lee:
Just waitin' to buy, tobacco and rye
From now till I die

Both:
The best things in life are dirty
And nothing in life is...

Lee:
Better to owe than dab in gold

Both:
The best things in life are filthy dirty
Hunks of gold, gold, gold

Clint:
There's more than just gold

Lee:
Gold is enough

Clint:
That's buried below

Lee:
Beautiful gold

Clint:
There's seed in the ground

Lee:
Lovable gold

Clint:
Just waitin' to grow

Lee:
Spendable gold
A man has his creed
And mine is all greed

Clint, Lee, and Men's Chorus:
Well bite that bogey 'en hound dog
And gold I ain't got an ounze of
Below there's endless amounts of

Lee:
Just dirty ol' trash
That turns in a flash
To dirty ol' cash

All:
The best things in life are dirty
The worst thing in life is...

Lee:
Wakin' up clean, without a bean

All:
The best things in life are filthy dirty
Hunks of gold, gold, gold,
The best things in life are dirty
The worst thing in life is...
Being content, without a cent
The best things is life are filthy dirty
Hunks of gold, gold, gold, gold
Stinkin', rotten, chunks of
Grimy, slimy, lousy, lovely

Clint and Lee:
Gold
