| You got palatial mansions
|
| I got a rented flat
|
| You got Persian kittens
|
| I got tabby cat
|
| You got art collections
|
| I got comic books
|
| You use plastic surgery
|
| I stay the way I look
|
| You travel private jet
|
| I stand by overnight
|
| You romance with chandeliers
|
| And I use candlelight
|
| Oh, there’s one thing I got more
|
| When I’m rich, you’re poor
|
| Is that real good loving
|
| The kind you can’t afford
|
| While you’re enjoying banquets
|
| I’m eating cafe snacks
|
| You’re in designer clothing
|
| I’m in plastic Macs
|
| Sipping on Napoleon Brandy
|
| I’m slinging a can of beer
|
| Packing matching luggage
|
| I’m mostly staying here
|
| Your educated accent
|
| Might beat the local slang
|
| Don’t bet your staff and the servants
|
| Against my backstreet gang
|
| 'Cause there’s one thing I got more
|
| When I’m rich, you’re poor
|
| Is that real good loving
|
| The kind you can’t afford
|
| Your dinner jackets and your ballroom gowns
|
| No warmer than my jeans
|
| Caviar
|
| No more filling than a can of beans
|
| Go to your classic concert
|
| I’ll be with a local band
|
| You’ll get brand new everything
|
| I’ll keep my second hand
|
| Ain’t no new fitted bathroom
|
| Got my water tap
|
| You think I’m full of envy?
|
| I know where the money’s at Oh, there’s one thing I got more
|
| When I’m rich, you’re poor
|
| Is that real good loving
|
| The kind you can’t afford
|
| It’s the kind you
|
| It’s the kind you can’t afford
|
| It’s the kind
|
| It’s the kind you can’t afford
|
| You got palatial mansions
|
| I got rented flat
|
| Persian kittens
|
| I got a tabby cat
|
| Cruising in a new Mercedes
|
| I’m broke down in a Ford
|
| You’re out on your new yacht
|
| I’m out on my surfing board
|
| Ooh, surfing board |
