Ay-yi-yi-yi...
I wish I had a dollar, I wish it all the time
I wish I had my baby to love me all the time
I wish I had my darling, I wish she still was mine
I wish I had my baby to rock me one more time
My wishes ain't worth nothing, they never will come true
No matter how much I want them, too
I was young and thin and handsome, but those days are through
Still I wish I had you
I wish I had some money, I wish I had a dime
I wish I had my darling to tell me she was mine
I wish I had a dollar, I wish it all the time
Wish I had my baby to rock me one more time
I wish I had a dollar, I wish it all the time
I wish I had my baby to love me all the time
I wish I had my darling, I wish she still was mine
I wish I had my baby to rock me one more time
I wish I had some money, I wish I had a dime
I wish I had my darling to tell me she was mine
I wish I had a dollar, I wish it all the time
I wish I had my baby to rock me one more time
