Now if I were a bricklayer, |
|
I wouldn't build just anything, |
|
If I was a ballplayer, |
|
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 was a secret, you know |
|
I would never be told, |
|
If I was a jug of wine, |
|
Lord, my flavor would be plenty old, |
|
I could be 'most anything, |
|
But it got to be 24-karat solid gold |
|
Chorus: I'm the |
|
Penthouse |
|
Pauper; I've got nothing to my name |
|
I'm the Penthouse |
|
Pauper; I've got nothing to my name, |
|
I can be 'most anything, ' |
|
Cause when you got nothin' it's all the same |
|
If I was a gambler, you know |
|
I'd never lose, |
|
And if I were a guitar player, |
|
I'd have to play the blues |
|
If I was a hacksaw (hatchet), my blade would be razor sharp, |
|
If I were a politician, |
|
I could prove money could talk, |
|
You can find the tallest building, |
|
Lord, you know |
|
I'd have the house on top |
|
Chorus: I'm the |
|
Penthouse |
|
Pauper; I've got nothing to my name |
|
I'm the Penthouse |
|
Pauper; I've got nothing to my name, |
|
I can be 'most anything, ' |
|
Cause when you got nothin' it's all the same |
