Poor people are poor people - And they don't understand A man's got to make whatever he wants- And take it with his own hands.
Poor people stay poor people - And they never get to see Someone's got to win in the human race- If it isn't you, then it has to be me.
So smile while you're makin' it- Laugh while you're takin' it- Even though you're fakin' it- Nobody's gonna know. Nobody's gonna know.
It's no use mumbling. It's no use grumbling. Life just isn't fair- There's no easy days There's no easy ways Just get out there and do it!
And sing and they'll sing your song- Laugh while you're getting on- Smile and they'll string along- And nobody's gonna know. Nobody's gonna know. Nobody's gonna know. And nobody's gonna know.
