Creedence Clearwater Revival - Penthouse Pauper 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 j**'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.
