Penthouse Pauper

Now if I was a bricklayer I wouldn't build just any-thing; And if I was a ball player I wouldn't play no second string. And if I were some jew'lry baby; Lord I'd have to be a diamond ring. If I were a secret lord I never would be told. If I were a jug of wine then all 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 I'd never lose And if I were a guitar player Lord I'd 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 I'd have me the house on top. Oh let's go! 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' it's all the same. Oh let's move to this song! Lord look at my penthouse.
