The lyrics mentioned in the song like  "The rich get richer" could mean that Gatsby is getting richer in emotions now that he has been reunited with Daisy. . This song is very mocking towards Daisy because as the lyrics states "not much money/oh but honey/ ain't we got fun" is a very ironic song for Daisy and Gatsby to be rekindling their love but Daisy will never love him because of his social class.

The song clearly emphasizes that you don't need money to be happy, which is the complete opposite of what the novel represents.
