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 jewlry baby;

Lord Id 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 Id never lose

And if I were a guitar player

Lord Id 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 Id have me the house on top

Oh lets 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 its all the same

Oh lets move to this song

Lord look at my penthouse
