Now,[D7]if I were a bricklayer,[G]
I wouldn't build just any-[D7]thing;
And if I was a [G] ball player,
I wouldn't play no second [D7]string.
And [A#7]if I were some jewelry, baby; [A7]
Lord, I'd have to be a diamond [D7]ring.

If I were a secret, Lord, I never would be told.
If I were a jug of wine, Lord, my flavor would be old.
I could be most anything,
But it got to be twenty-four karat solid gold, oh.

Lord, I'd have to play the blues.

SOLO

If I was a hacksaw, My blade would be razor sharp.
If I were a politician, I could prove that monkeys talk.
You can find the tallest building,
Lord, I'd have me the house on top.

SOLO
Oh, let's go!
All right, keep going!

I'm the Penthouse Pauper;
I got nothing to my name.
I'm the Penthouse Pauper; baby,
I got nothing to my name.
I can be most anything,
When you got nothing it's all the same.

SOLO
Oh, let's move to this song!
Lord, look at my penthouse.
