[00:11.47]Now if I was a bricklayer
[00:15.46]I wouldn't build just anything;
[00:22.39]And if I was a ball player
[00:25.89]I wouldn't play no second string
[00:32.81]And if I were some jewlry baby;
[00:35.93]Lord Id have to be a diamond ring
[00:43.36]If I were a secret lord I never would be told
[00:53.78]If I were a jug of wine lord my flavor would be old
[01:03.64]I could be most anything
[01:07.51]But it got to be twenty-four karat solid gold oh
[01:14.56]If I were a gambler you know Id never lose
[01:19.93]And if I were a guitar player
[01:22.25]Lord Id have to play the blues
[01:45.38]If I was a hacksaw my blade would be razor sharp
[01:55.74]If I were a politician I could prove that monkeys talk
[02:06.04]You can find the tallest building
[02:09.16]Lord Id have me the house on top
[02:13.65]Oh lets go
[02:38.41]All right keep goin
[02:47.52]I'm the penthouse pauper;
[02:50.97]I got nothin to my name
[02:56.27]I'm the penthouse pauper; baby
[03:00.51]I got nothing to my name
[03:06.94]I can be most anything
[03:10.62]Cause when you got nothin its all the same
[03:14.67]Oh lets move to this song
[03:24.72]Lord look at my penthouse
