i'd take a glass of cold scotch in my hand
my boys would polish my cars
if i was like other men
if i was wealthy again
i'd never answer the phone anymore
i'd rent a store just to shop
if i was like other men
if i was wealthy again
if i was rich, i'd have so much to do
if i had loot i would give some to you
i'd keep some too
if i weren't sick, then my head would feel good
if i was rich it would feel as it should
i know it would
i'd make a living room gleam with romance
i'd purchase everything in the world
if i was like other men
if i was wealthy again
if i was like other men
was i ever before, i wish i knew
could i have been wealthy back then?
