That's Rich

That's Rich is a song from the stage musical Newsies and is sung by Medda Larkin in the first act where she performs in a theatre while Jack flirts with Katherine.
The character of Medda Larkin was based on the vaudeville performer, Aida Overton Walker and “a bit of Mae West thrown in.”
This song replaces Medda's songs from the film version which were "My Lovey-Dovey Baby" and "High Times, Hard Times".
==Lyrics==
I'm doing alright for myself folks
I'm healthy, I'm wealthy, I'm wise
My investments and such
Have all gone up so much
Seems whatever I touch
Starts to rise
I've got men, I've got money
And yet
The thing I want most
I can't get
Uh, that feels good
I like that
I live in a mansion on Long Island sound
I pulled up a weed, they found oil in the ground
But you telling me you don't want me around
Now, honey, that's rich
Some guys give me vermans
Chincilla and mink
And some give me diamonds
As big as a sink
But you wouldn't give me so
Much as a wink
Now, baby, that's rich
I get brandy from Andy
And candy from Scott
Oh, and Frank and Eduardo
Chipped in for a yacht
I get stares from the fellas
And prayers from the pope
But I ran out my luck
Getting stuck on some dope!
Hey baby, I was just talking about you
Now, listen, sport
This life's too short
To waste it on you
It may be rough
But soon enough
I'll learn to make do
With the mansion, the oil well
The diamonds, the yacht
With Andy, Eduardo
The pontiff and Scott
And Frank. Oooooo!
And my bank!
So spill no tears for me
'Cause there's one thing you ain't
That I'll always be
And honey
Yeah, that's right
That's rich! That's rich!
That's rich! That's rich!
