Like trying to knock down pins with marbles in my hand

She wouldn't take a hi from me the average man

Funny what money can do to people

But she had a light that had sparked up her evil

Trying to chat up women who rate themselves so high

Shouldn't be my subject but I felt like I should try

Funny what drink can do for soldiers

Well she must into men a little bit older

Funny how it goes -- how money steals the show

And all her diamonds twinkle as she dances and what's it got for me

Hung over in my tree?

I saw the sun shine bright in front of......

Trying to get her dancing was not an easy job

She made out like Houdini when I said do you bop

Funny what rhythm does it kills me

Like champagne women only seem to spill me

Trying to get the picture, I settled down to a drink

When up came Cinderella, so what was I to think

Funny how these shoes fit a dragon

Well she's like the sharks that you get in Manhattan

Funny how it goes -- how money steals the show

And all her diamonds twinkle as she dances and what's it got for me

Hung over in my tree?

I saw the sun shine bright in front of.....
