Richard Cory |
They say that Richard Cory |
Owns one-half of this here town |
With political connections |
Spread his wealth around |
Born into society, a banker’s only child |
He had everything a man could want |
Power, grace and style |
But I, work in his factory |
And I curse the life I’m livin' |
And I curse my poverty |
That I wish that I could be |
Yeah, I wish that I could be |
Lord, I wish that I could be, Richard Cory |
Paper’s print his pictures |
Almost everywhere he go |
Richard Cory at the opera |
Richard Cory at the show |
And the rumours of his a-parties |
And the orgies on his yacht |
Well, he surely must be happy |
With everythang that he has got |
But I, work in his factory |
And I curse the life I’m livin' |
And I curse my poverty |
And I wish that I could be |
I wish that I could be, yea-ah |
I wish that I could be, Richard Cory |
He freely gave to charity |
And had that common touch |
They were grateful for his patronage |
And thanked him very much |
So my mind was filled with wonder |
When the evenin' headlines read |
That Richard Cory went home last night |
And put a bullet through his head, hu |
But I, I, I, work in his factory |
And I, I don’t don’t dig the life I’m livin' |
And I don’t dig my poverty |
And I wish that I could be |
Yeah, an' I wish that I could be |
Well, wish that I could be, Richard Cory |
Ay-hey, I wish that I could be |
I wish that I could be |
Sometime, I wish that I could be |
A-just like a-Richard Cory |
Just li-iiiiiiike, a-Richard Cory |
A-Richard Cory |
FADES |
A-Richard Cory |
Just like Richard Cory |
