A dead ringer for Veronica Lake
Jumped right out of my birthday cake
It's not like she was on the make
But I took the road that any man would take
The next day when we were lying in bed
She turned to me and this is what she said:
"Well, ain't that a kick in the head?
How'd you know I could be so easily led?"
If it was easy, everybody would do it
I'm the best and that's all there is to it
You got a problem, you gotta work through it
If it was easy, everybody would do it
I was a multimillionaire by age 10
And I lost it all but I can't remember when
A year down the road I had it all back again
Lord knows I'm a man among men
They say it takes money to make more money
And then you get so much that it isn't funny
A man said "Hold on just a minute there, sonny
How'd you find your way to the land of milk and honey?"

Got a hit record at the top of the charts
Now all the little girls wanna tear me apart
And Rolling Stone says "5 Stars! A work of art!"
And all of a sudden, I'm looking awfully smart
And all the bands playing down in the bars
Look straight up and all they see is stars
I slow down in one of my cars
And they say "Man, how'd
You get to be where you are?"
