Never in school, he was ever so cool about Teacher
Acting the fool, he would break all the rules of the preacher
Francis Philanderer, on Saturday
Met up with Alice and took her away

As he grew older, he also grew bolder and sold her
It wasn't like him to be mean with his money, he told her
He took her away for a year and a day
He gave her the time of her life

He told her he'd buy everything that he wanted
But he couldn't buy him a wife
Her money couldn't buy him a wife

He didn't expect it, he'd thought she'd accept him for money
He felt dejected, now he's just a rejected honey
Francis Philanderer, on Saturday
He met up with Alice and took her away

He thought he could buy everything that he wanted
Money brought him nothing but strife
He bought all the cars and a house in the country
But money couldn't buy him a wife
Money couldn't buy him a wife

Francis Philanderer
Francis Philanderer (Money couldn't buy him a wife)
Baby, oh oh-oh
Francis (Money couldn't buy him a wife)
Yeah yeah (Money couldn't buy him a wife)
It couldn't buy him a wife (Money couldn't buy him a wife)
Francis Philanderer, yeah (Money couldn't buy him a wife)
Saved all his money, oh-oh (Money couldn't buy him a wife)
Yeah yeah, said it's alright (Money couldn't buy him a wife)
