I would have some reservations performing this one but as a historical document it is important please note the comment 5 shillings in the pound that the rich man pays that level of taxation is the same as today

The Rich Man and the Poor Man
by R P Weston & Bert Lee

The poor are always with us so the prophet used to say
The rich are also with us too , expect when they're away
But money isn't ev'rything and life's a funny game
So if you're rich or if you're poor you've troubles
just the same

Chant
The rich man eats at the Ritz or Savoy
Drinks wine it may be sinful
The poor man dines on a penny saveloy
So he always gets his skinfull
The rich man has five courses at lunch
No wonder he gets fat quick
The poor man knows only three courses
Kempton Epsom and Gatwick

The rich man sleeps in a mansion grand
Built by the poor man's labours
The poor man sleeps in a council house
With his feet in the nextdoor neighbours
The rich man sleeps in his bed alone
They have twin beds cause I've seem em
The poor man sleeps in bed with his wife
And the four twins sleep between them

The rich man smokes Flor Finas grand
And he looks trey bong behind them
The poor man smokes Flor Finas to
And on the floor he finds them
The rich man pays five bob in the pound
And thinks that it's a caution

The poor man pays four pence in the pint
In the year he pays a fortune

When he rich man's Rolls Royce breaks down
All night long he has to mind it
If the poor man's car breaks down – who cares
There's another one behind it
When the rich man's queer he operates
At these Nursing Institutions
When the poor man's queer he goes to work
And says thank heavens for kruschens's

If the rich man's wife should prove untrue
He applys for Decree Nisi's
If the poor man's wife begins to flirt
He gives her a couple of nice eyes
The rich man boasts of his ancestors
They were great men who could doubt it
The poor men's people were thieves as well
But he doesn't swank about it

When the rich mans buried upon his chest
There's a tombstone large and classy
The poor man's happy with a dandelion
In a jam jar on his chassy
The rich man's wife has diamonds bright
That Her loving husband sends her
When the poor man's wife has diamonds bright
He knows she's got influenza

The rich man's wife has kolinsky furs
And ev'ry kind of rare skin
The poor man's wife on friday night
Has a bath and shows her bare skin
The rich man has a bath each day
Though it may sound impossible
The poor man has to stand in the sink
And washes as far as possible

Finale
It's all a matter of what you think
You'll find the whole world o'er
If you think you're rich you are rich
If you think you're poor you're poor
