Penthouse Pauper

Now, if I were a bricklayer

I wouldn't build just anything

And if I were a ball player

I wouldn't play no second string

And if I were some jewelry, baby

Lord, I'd have to be a diamond ring

If I were a secret

Lord, I never would be told

And if I were a jug of wine

Lord, my flavor would be old

I could be most anything

But it got to be 24 karat solid gold

If I were a gambler

You know, I'd never lose

If I were a guitar player

Lord, I'd have to play the blues

♪

If I were a hacksaw

My blade be razor sharp

And if I were a politician

I could prove that monkey talk

You can find the tallest buildin'

Lord, I'd have me the house on top

Oh, let's go

♪

Alright

♪

I'm the penthouse pauper

I got nothing to my name

I'm the penthouse pauper, baby

I got nothing to my name

I can be most anything

Oh, when you got nothin', it's all the same

Oh, let's move, move, oh

♪

Lord, look at my penthouse
