Lyrics
Sulley: If I were a rich man

With a million or two

Mike: I'd live in a penthouse

In a room, with a view

Sulley: And if I were handsome

(Mike: No way)

It could happen Those dreams do come true

I wouldn't have nothin' If I didn't have you

Wouldn't have nothin' If I didn't have Wouldn't have nothin' If I didn't have Wouldn't have nothin'

Mike: Can I tell you something? For years I have envied (Sulley: You green with it) Your grace and your charm Everyone loves you, you know? (Sulley: Yes I know, I know, I know)

Mike: I must admit it, big guy You always come through I wouldn't have nothin' If I didn't have you

Both: You and me together That's how it Always should be One without the other Don't mean nothing to me Nothing to me Ya

Sulley: I wouldn't be nothin' (Aw now) If I didn't have you To serve

Mike: I'm just A punky little eyeball And a funky optic nerve Hey, I never told you this

Sometimes I get a little blue (Sulley: Looks good on you) But I wouldn't have nothin' If I didn't have you

Sulley: Let's dance (Mike: Ha, ha) Mike: Look, Ma, I'm dancin' Would you let me lead?

Look at That's it two big guys Who are light on their feet

Don't you dare dip me Don't you dare dip me Don't you dare dip me Ow, I should have stretched

Sulley: Yes, I wouldn't be nothin' If I didn't have you (Mike: I know what you mean, Sulley, because)

I wouldn't know Where to go (Sulley: Me too because I) Or know, what to do (Mike: Why do you keep singin' my part?) Both: I don't have to say it (Sulley: Aw, say it anyway) Both: Cause we both know It's true

I wouldn't have nothin' If I didn't have I wouldn't have nothin' If I didn't have I wouldn't have nothin' If I didn't have Wouldn't have nothin' If I didn't have Youuuuu!

Mike: One more time! Big one!

Sulley: Don't have to say it Mike: Where'd everybody come from? Sulley: Oh, we both know it's true Mike: Let's take it home, big guy

Both: I wouldn't have nothin' If I didn't have I wouldn't have nothin' If I didn't have I wouldn't have nothin' If I didn't have

Mike: You, you, you A-E-I-O That means you Ya!
