[ Featuring Lee Marvin, Paint Your Wagon Chorus ]
Clint:
The earth is pure muck
Lee:
Muck's a good thing
Clint:
And oozing with mud
Lee:
Mud is just fine
Clint:
It's drownin' in bog
Lee:
Bog is good luck
Clint:
And crawlin' with crud
Lee:
Crud's a good sign
The poor, they got hope
The rich can buy soap
Clint:
The rainbows, they got a pot of
And I, ain't got a spot of
A few feet down, there's a lot of
Lee:
Just waitin' to buy, tobacco and rye
From now till I die
Both:
The best things in life are dirty
And nothing in life is...
Lee:
Better to owe than dab in gold
Both:
The best things in life are filthy dirty
Hunks of gold, gold, gold
Clint:
There's more than just gold
Lee:
Gold is enough
Clint:
That's buried below
Lee:
Beautiful gold
Clint:
There's seed in the ground
Lee:
Lovable gold
Clint:
Just waitin' to grow
Lee:
Spendable gold
A man has his creed
And mine is all greed
Clint, Lee, and Men's Chorus:
Well bite that bogey 'en hound dog
And gold I ain't got an ounze of
Below there's endless amounts of
Lee:
Just dirty ol' trash
That turns in a flash
To dirty ol' cash
All:
The best things in life are dirty
The worst thing in life is...
Lee:
Wakin' up clean, without a bean
All:
The best things in life are filthy dirty
Hunks of gold, gold, gold,
The best things in life are dirty
The worst thing in life is...
Being content, without a cent
The best things is life are filthy dirty
Hunks of gold, gold, gold, gold
Stinkin', rotten, chunks of
Grimy, slimy, lousy, lovely
Clint and Lee:
Gold
