Penthouse Pauper

[00:10.87] Now, if I were a bricklayer
[00:14.99] I wouldn't build just anything
[00:21.69] And if I were a ball player
[00:25.23] I wouldn't play no second string
[00:32.13] And if I were some jewelry, baby
[00:35.29] Lord, I'd have to be a diamond ring
[00:42.78] If I were a secret
[00:46.40] Lord, I never would be told
[00:53.00] And if I were a jug of wine
[00:56.87] Lord, my flavor would be old
[01:03.03] I could be most anything
[01:06.87] But it got to be 24 karat solid gold
[01:13.82] If I were a gambler
[01:16.46] You know, I'd never lose
[01:19.16] If I were a guitar player
[01:21.69] Lord, I'd have to play the blues
[01:26.45]
[01:44.78] If I were a hacksaw
[01:48.47] My blade be razor sharp
[01:55.18] And if I were a politician
[01:58.86] I could prove that monkey talk
[02:05.33] You can find the tallest buildin'
[02:08.41] Lord, I'd have me the house on top
[02:12.95] Oh, let's go
[02:15.81]
[02:37.75] Alright
[02:39.17]
[02:45.38] I'm the penthouse pauper
[02:50.26] I got nothing to my name
[02:56.09] I'm the penthouse pauper, baby
[02:59.92] I got nothing to my name
[03:06.48] I can be most anything
[03:10.14] Oh, when you got nothin', it's all the same
[03:14.18] Oh, let's move, move, oh
[03:17.09]
[03:23.96] Lord, look at my penthouse
[03:26.34]
