Lyrics Penthouse Pauper - Molly Hatchet
Now
if
I
were
a
bricklayer,
I
wouldn′t
build
just
anything,
If
I
was
a
ballplayer,
I
wouldn't
play
no
second
string,
And
if
I
were
some
jewelry,
baby,
Lord,
I′d
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:
I'm
the
Penthouse
Pauper;
I′ve
got
nothing
to
my
name
I′m
the
Penthouse
Pauper;
I've
got
nothing
to
my
name,
I
can
be
′most
anything,
'Cause
when
you
got
nothin′
it's
all
the
same
If
I
was
a
gambler,
you
know
I′d
never
lose,
And
if
I
were
a
guitar
player,
I'd
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
I'd
have
the
house
on
top
Chorus:
I′m
the
Penthouse
Pauper;
I′ve
got
nothing
to
my
name
I'm
the
Penthouse
Pauper;
I′ve
got
nothing
to
my
name,
I
can
be
'most
anything,
′Cause
when
you
got
nothin'
it′s
all
the
same
