poor boy poor me

as sad as it may seem

i call pennies in between

these cushions a good means of saving dimes

i never claimed that i'd be rich

never said i would try

but i live well enough to eat and i'll live long enough to die

so don't sell what you can keep

sell it high or sell it cheap

for you'll miss it just the same

poor boy poor me

my mother's a millionaire now

she spends it in the clouds

so i skipped town hoping somehow to drown it out

and i'm sure someday i'll hit it big as well

sad enough only time will tell as to when

or what it's all about

so don't sell what you can keep

sell it high or sell it cheap

for you'll miss it just the same

poor boy poor me

they say the devil will take your soul

they say this world ain't no place to call home

i don't know

i often pay it all no mind

and as sad as it may seem i call pennies in between

these cushions a good means of saving dimes

so don't sell what you can keep

sell it high or sell it cheap

for you'll miss it just the same

poor boy poor me

i said don't sell what you can keep

sell it high or sell it cheap

for you'll miss it just the same

poor boy poor me
