Lyrics:
[She]
Oh Max!

[He]
In all the famous love affairs
The lovers have to struggle.
In garret rooms away upstairs
The lovers starve and snugggle.
They're famous for misfortune which
They seem tohave no fear of,
While lovers who are very rich
You very seldom hear of.

[She]
No little shack do you share with me,
We do not flee from a mortgagee,
Nary a care in the world have we,

[He]
How can love survive?

[She]
You're fond of bonds and you own a lot.
I have a plane and a diesel yacht,

[He]
Plenty of nothing you haven't got!

[Both]
How can love survive?

[She]
No rides for us on the top of a bus
In the face of the freezing breezes

[He]
You reach your goals in your comfy old Rolls
Or in one of your Mercedes-es!

[She]
Far, very far off the beam are we,
Quaint and bizarre as a team are we,
Two millionaires with a dream are we,
We're keeping romance alive.

[Both]
Two millionaries with a dream are we,
We'll make our love survive...

[She]
No little cold water flat have we,
Warmed by the glow of insolvency,

[He]
Up to your necks in security.
How can love survive?

[She]
How can I show what I feel for you?
I cannot go out and steal for you.
I cannot die like Camille for you.
How can love survive?

[He]
You millionaires with financial affairs
Are too busy for simple pleasure.
When you are poor it is toujours l'amour,
For l'amour all the poor have leisure!

[She]
Caught in our gold platted chains are we,
Lost in our wealthy domains are we.
Trapped by our capital gains are we,
But we'll keep romaince alive.

[Max]
Trapped by our capital gains are we,

[Both]
We'll make our love
survive!
