<br>

[Elsa]<br>

Oh Max!<br>

<br>

[Max]<br>

In all the famous love affairs<br>

The lovers have to struggle.<br>

In garret rooms away upstairs<br>

The lovers starve and snugggle.<br>

They're famous for misfortune which<br>

They seem tohave no fear of,<br>

While lovers who are very rich<br>

You very seldom hear of.<br>

<br>

[Elsa]<br>

No little shack does he share with me,<br>

We do not flee from a mortgagee,<br>

Nary a care in the world have we,<br>

<br>

[Max]<br>

How can love survive?<br>

<br>

[Elsa]<br>

He's fond of bonds and he ows a lot.<br>

I have a plane and a diesel yacht,<br>

<br>

[Max]<br>

Plenty of nothing you haven't got!<br>

<br>

[Both]<br>

How can love survive?<br>

<br>

[Elsa]<br>

No rides for us on the top of a bus<br>

In the face of the freezing breezes<br>

<br>

[Max]<br>

You reach your goals in your comfy old Rolls<br>

Or in one of your Mercedes-es!<br>

<br>

[Elsa]<br>

Far, very far off the beam are we,<br>

Quaint and bizarre as a team are we,<br>

Two millionaires with a dream are we,<br>

We're keeping romance alive.<br>

Two millionaries with a dream are we,<br>

We'll make our love survive...<br>

How can I shw what I feel for him,<br>

I cannot go out and steal for him,<br>

I cannot die like Camile for him<br>

<br>

[Max]<br>

How can love survive?<br>

You millionaires with financial affairs<br>

Are too busy for simple pleasure.<br>

When you are poor it is toujours l'amour,<br>

For l'amour all the poor have leisure!<br>

<br>

[Elsa]<br>

Caught in our gold platted chains are we,<br>

Lost in our wealthy domains are we.<br>

Trapped by our capital gains are we,<br>

But we'll keep romance alive.<br>

<br>

[Max]<br>

Trapped by your capital goals are you<br>

<br>

[Both]<br>

We'll make our love<br>

survive!<br>

<br>
