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 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, 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 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!
 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' it's all the same.
 
 Oh, let's move to this song!
 Lord, look at my penthouse.
