Penthouse Pauper  Penthouse Pauper  Creedence Clearwater Revival
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.   Lyrics
