Ray Davies - Most Exclusive Residence for Sale lyrics

[Verse 1] It was the biggest house in the neighborhood He went and bought this house when he made good Ten bedrooms and a swimming pool Where he entertained all the people that he knew But he hit the hard times and had to sell out Most exclusive residence for sale [Verse 2] He went and spent all the money that he had Because he had a heart and not a head He spent it all on girls and fancy j**elry Then he found himself in front of a judge and jury And the judge said to pay up, our you must sell out Most exclusive residence for sale [Verse 3] He had to tell all the servants to go away Couldn't even afford to pay their way He took to the bottle and drunk himself down Then he soaked away all the troubles and let them drown Then he saw a notice on the wall Most exclusive residence for sale Most exclusive residence for sale
