Molly Hatchet - Penthouse Pauper Lyrics
Now if I were a bricklayer,I wouldnt build just anything,If I was a ballplayer,I wouldnt play no second string,And if I were some jewelry, baby,Lord, Id 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 goldChorus:Im the penthouse pauper; Ive got nothing to my nameIm the penthouse pauper; Ive got nothing to my name,I can be most anything,cause when you got nothin its all the sameIf I was a gambler, you know Id never lose,And if I were a guitar player,Id have to play the bluesIf 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 Id have the house on topChorus:Im the penthouse pauper; Ive got nothing to my nameIm the penthouse pauper; Ive got nothing to my name,I can be most anything,cause when you got nothin its all the same
