Penthouse Pauper lyrics
Song information
Artist: Molly Hatchet Album: Beatin' The Odds
Lyrics
Now if I were a bricklayer I wouldn't build just anything If I was a ballplayer I wouldn't play no second string And if I were some jewelry, baby Lord, I'd 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 gold
Chorus: I'm the penthouse pauper; I've got nothing to my name I'm the penthouse pauper; I've got nothing to my name I can be 'most anything 'Cause when you got nothin' it's all the same
If I was a gambler, you know I'd never lose And if I were a guitar player I'd have to play the blues
If 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 I'd have the house on top
Chorus: I'm the penthouse pauper; I've got nothing to my name I'm the penthouse pauper; I've got nothing to my name I can be 'most anything 'Cause when you got nothin' it's all the same
