I should have been a prince but I'm a pauper
Just a poor old fool who thinks he's got more
I should be living in a mansion
But the lottery money flew out the window
I should have been a prince but I'm a pauper
Just a dumb old farm boy sweeping the barn floor
I should be running with the jet-set
But the family money flew out the window
I should have been a prince but I'm a pauper
Just a broken-down fellow who has no more
I should be swimming in a cement pond
But the oil money flew out the window
I should have been a prince but I'm a pauper
Just a poor old fool who thinks he's got more
I should be living in a mansion
But the lottery money flew out the window
