Well, by doggies, I was close! Even came up with "I'm no millionaire, but I'm not the type to care" this morning. I thought I heard old Bing singing it in my mind's ear, but figured I was confusing it with one of the songs he and Bob Hope sang in Road to (Somewhere) that said:
Ain't got a dime to my name, What a terrible shame. Ho-hum, ho-ho-hum. I've got a hole in my shoe, And my stocking shows through. Ho-hum, ho-ho-hum.
I'm just as free as a bird in a tree, Life is a wonderful whim! Look at the crank with his dough in the bank; Don't you feel sorry for him? (uh-uh)
Rollin' along at a loss, Never gatherin' moss. Ho-hum, ho-ho-ho-ho-hum.
These two songs ought to be in the thread Rick Fielding started awhile ago about "the same song written again (or whatever).
Anyway, congratulations, "Mary who sings Irish songs!" I knew some 'Cat would find it. You're the one!
