Lyrics

[Greg] Bright sunny day don't cost nothing Light summer breeze don't cost nothing What do I do with all this money? When the only thing I want is you Palling around don't cost nothing Singing a song don't cost nothing How do I spend all this money? I'd rather just spend time with you [Steven] You could buy a house and a car [Greg] I guess that I can but I've already got a van I could put you through college [Steven] But I'm with the Gems all the time [Greg] Or I could buy you all the finest courses online [Steven] What if we took a trip? [Greg] Do you think? [Steven] Yeah I do! We could take a vacation We could go somewhere new

Reprise

[Greg] Tailor-made suits, those cost something Room with a view, those cost something [Pearl] Dancing with you [Greg] Don't cost nothing [Pearl] Why'd we even come, we could've done this at home Singing a song, don't cost nothing Or was it palling around, don't cost nothing Getting it wrong [Greg] Don't cost nothing [Pearl] I tried [Greg] I'm surprised you remembered any of it [Pearl] What can I say, it's catchy [Steven] It's over, isn't it? It's over, isn't it? It's over, isn't it...
