and stay awake both day and night

till everybody's feelin good an' right

then throw me

a diamond mill

ten suits of clothes to dress to kill

a ten room house

some barbecue

and fifty chicks not over twenty-two

then throw me

a street that's paved with natural pearls

a wagon load of bonds and stocks
