Eartha Kitt Mink Shmink song lyrics

A friend of mine called me up not long ago

He knew me since I was knee high to a grasshopper

But I evidently didn't give him the right answer because he said to me

Mink, schmink, money, schmoney

Think your hot now don't ya honey

What have you got if you haven't got love?

Silk, schmilk, satin, schmatin

A penthouse high in old Manhattan

That's not enough if you haven't got love

Happiness is not a thing that you can buy

It takes loving, lotsa loving from the right guy

Pearls, schmearls, ermine, shmermen

From Jim or Jack or Joe or Herman

That's not enough if you haven't got love

Ring, schming, jewelry, schmellery

Don't you know that's just Tom Foolery?

What have you got if you haven't got love?

Cars, schmars and princes, schminces

With caviar and chicken blintzes

Don't mean a thing if you haven't got love

Love is just a simple thing that you can't buy

You can't get it wholesale, darlin', why try?

Tips, schmips, angle, schmangle

Play around and get entangled

What have you got if you haven't got, haven't got love?

I'll take the Jaguar on the right
