Penthouse Pauper Songtext
von Dr. Will

If I were a bricklayer
I wouldn′t build just anything
And if I were a ballplayer
I wouldn't play no second string
If I were some jewelry
Don′t you know lord I'd have to be a diamond ring
If I were a secret
Lord I never would be told
And if I were a gentleman
Don't you know, don′t you know my flavor would be old
I could be almost anything
But it′d have to be 24 karat solid gold


If I were a gambler
You know I'd never lose
If I were a guitar player
I would play the blues
I′m a penthouse pauper
I got nothing to my name
I'm a penthouse pauper
I got nothing to my name
I could be almost anything
But don′t you know when you ain't got nothing
It′s all the same, it's all the same
All the same to me anyway
