Penthouse Pauper — текст песни (molly hatchet)

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 gold





Chorus:

Im the penthouse pauper; Ive got nothing to my name

Im the penthouse pauper; Ive got nothing to my name,

I can be most anything,

cause when you got nothin its all the same



If I was a gambler, you know Id never lose,

And if I were a guitar player,

Id 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 Id have the house on top





Chorus:

Im the penthouse pauper; Ive got nothing to my name

Im the penthouse pauper; Ive got nothing to my name,

I can be most anything,

cause when you got nothin its all the same
