Penthouse Pauper |
Now, if I was a bricklayer, |
I wouldn’t build just anything; |
And if I was a ball player, |
I wouldn’t play no second string. |
And if I were some jew’lry, baby; |
Lord, I’d have to be a diamond ring. |
If I were a secret, Lord, I never would be told. |
If I were a jug of wine, Lord, my flavor would be old. |
I could be most anything, |
But it got to be twenty-four karat solid gold, oh. |
If I were a gambler, You know I’d never lose, |
And if I were a guitar player, |
Lord, I’d have to play the blues. |
If I was a hacksaw, My blade would be razor sharp. |
If I were a politician, I could prove that monkeys talk. |
You can find the tallest building, |
Lord, I’d have me the house on top. |
Oh, let’s go! |
All right, keep goin'! |
I’m the penthouse pauper; |
I got nothin' to my name. |
I’m the penthouse pauper; |
baby, |
I got nothing to my name. |
I can be most anything, |
'Cause when you got nothin' it’s all the same. |
Oh, let’s move to this song! |
Lord, look at my penthouse. |
