Irving Berlin — If You Haven't Got An Ear For Music lyrics

[1st refrain:]
What good is a fancy motorcar?
If you haven't got an ear for music, you haven't got a thing at all

What good is a ton of caviar?
If you haven't got an ear for music, you haven't got a thing at all

What good is a sack of gold
If a jazz band leaves you cold?

What good is a mansion large or small?
If you haven't got an ear for music, you haven't got a thing at all

[2nd refrain:]
What good is a sable or a mink?
If you haven't got an ear for music, you haven't got a thing at all

What good is that extra midnight drink?
If you haven't got an ear for music, you haven't got a thing at all

When I journey to the moon
I won't go without a tune

What good is a party or a ball?

If you haven't got an ear for music, you haven't got a thing at all
You haven't got a thing at all
You haven't got a thing at all
