Move over Kim, another Real Housewife has a dance track. Countess LuAnn de Lesseps' first single is out. 'Money Can't Buy You Class' is brimming with electronic vocal correction and breathlessly rapped lyrics such as "you don't have to be rich or famous to be unforgettable haha" that draw from the countess' own life. (Full lyrics are printed below.)
"My book is about my journey in life and how I learned to be elegant," she told People. "I translated that into song, so I talk about how money can't buy you class, but elegance can be learned."
Lyrics:
Money can't buy you class
Money can't buy you class
Elegance is learned, my friends
Elegance is learned, oh yeah
Money can't buy you class
Money can't buy you class
Elegance is learned, my friends
Elegance is learned
How many men there are
That forget to hold the door
When I give them so much more than they can imagine
Money rich and manners poor
Never got the boys too far
Money talks but I just walk when I can't stand it
And the primary mistake
Texting on a date
If you make a lady wait she'll take a pass
The lesson all should learn
Even if there's cash to burn
Respect yourself cause no one else can change your path
Money can't buy you class
Money can't buy you class
Elegance is learned, my friends
Elegance is learned, oh yeah
Money can't buy you class
Money can't buy you class
Elegance is learned, my friends
Elegance is learned
Now ladies, don't forget
To allow the men you've met
To exemplify their very best behavior
When entering a room
Greet everyone and soon
You'll be invited and entitled to the grandeur
Your company should feel
When a conversation's real
Even if the topic feels like science class
You can tell where someone's been
Without even asking him
He's either rude or has some style and panache
Money can't buy you class
Money can't buy you class
Elegance is learned, my friends
Elegance is learned, oh yeah
Money can't buy you class
Money can't buy you class
Elegance is learned, my friends
Elegance is learned, oh yeah
Life is all about elegance and flair
And savoir faire.
You don't have to be rich or famous to be unforgettable
It's not about where you're from
It's about what you've learned
Money can't buy you class
Money can't buy you class
Elegance is learned, my friends
Elegance is learned
Money can't buy you class
Money can't buy you class
Elegance is learned, my friends
Elegance is learned
Money can't buy you class
