Now,{D7}if I were a bricklayer,{G} 
I wouldn't build just any-{D7}thing;

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.

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.

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.
