Spoken:

Man, you know I have enjoyed things kings

and queens will never have.

In fact, kings and queens can't never get

and they don't even know about them.

And good times? Don't even know this.

I have had my fun

If I never get well no mo'

I have had my fun

If I never get well no mo'

Oh, my health is fadin' fast

Oh yes, I'm goin' down slow

Spoken:

Now look it here

I did not say I was a millionaire.

But I said I have spent mo money

than a millionaire.

'Cause if I had-a kept all my money that

I had already spent, I would been a millionaire

long time ago.

And women? Well, Googly Moogly.

Please write my mama

Tell her the shape I'm in

Please write my mama

Tell her the shape I'm in

Tell her pray for me

Forgive me for my sins.
