Old Man Luedecke - Baby, We’d Be Rich lyrics

rate me

Singing for my supper

So I eat mr. Noodles

Watching all the cats walk

along the windowsill

With our mattress on the floor

And our records in the cartons

Dreaming of the country

Running from the bills

If Reading books was money

if spinning records was investing

If drinking was consulting

Baby, we’d be rich

Going on a picnic

Rolling in the grass now

The age of miracle and wonder

Or just trying to get our kicks

I would spend my last 10 dollars

Buy us both Tequila’s

Leave the pack up and waiting

No minutes on my phone

If Reading books was money

if spinning records was investing

If drinking was consulting

Baby, we’d be rich

If Dreaming made us money

If singing was investing

if smoking it was saving

Baby, we’d be rich

Gettin’ Higher,

Gettin’ Higher,

Gettin’ Higher and higher and higher

Moving to the country

Planting us a garden

I’m cooking up with beans

Thinking bout some kids

I’ve been thinking lately

It’s just you and me baby

Even if we’re dancing

On the margins of the skids

If Reading books was money

if spinning records was investing

If drinking was consulting

baby, we’d be rich

You’ve been reading books

I’ve been spinning records

We’ve been drinking all night

Baby, we’re rich!
