Penthouse Pauper (Album Version) - Molly Hatchet

作词：J C Fogerty

作曲：J C Fogerty

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

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

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
