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
ย
If I were a secret
You know I would never be told
If I were a jug of wine
Lord, my flavor would be old
Well, I could be 'most anything, darling
But it's got to be 24-karat solid gold
ย
'Cause I'm a Penthouse Pauper
I ain't got nothing to my name
Lord, I'm a Penthouse Pauper, baby
I've got nothing to my name
Well, I can be 'most anything, darling
When you got nothin' it's all the same
ย
Now if I was a gambler
You know I'd never lose
And if I were a guitar player
Lord, I'd have to play the blues
ย
Now if I were a hatchet
My blade would be razor sharp
If I were a politician
I could prove that money could talk
ย
'Cause I'm a Penthouse Pauper
I ain't got nothing to my name
Lord, I'm a Penthouse Pauper, baby
I've got nothing to my name
Well, I can be 'most anything, darling
When you got nothin' it's all the same
