Ain't got no clothes to wear
Can't spend hundreds on my hair
Got no dancing shoes on my feet
Like the rich kids living down the street
But hallelujah, hallelu
One day, I'll be wearing golds and blues
Thought I'd be somebody someday
Instead, no-one listens to a word I say
I've got no standing to protect
I'm Mr Nobody with no respect
But hallelujah, hallelu
I can hear someone singing golden blues
You could say I'm reduced in rank
And I've only got myself to thank
(But you know) it don't matter so much
If I ain't got the Midas touch
I got someone special, you see
Someone who really cares for me
Got different opportunities
'cause life has brought me to my knees
So hallelujah, hallelu
I can sing those golden blues
