Penthouse Pauper lyrics
Song information
Artist: Creedence Clearwater Revival Album: Bayou Country
Lyrics
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
