Intro
Verse
Now if I were a bricklayer I wouldn't build just anything
If I were 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
Verse 2
If I were a secret, you know I would never be told
If I were 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 nothing it's all the same
Bridge
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
Solo
Bridge 2
If I was a hatchet, my blade would be razor sharp
If I were a politician, I could prove money could talk
Solo 2
Chorus 2
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 nothing it's all the same
