I'll take a rainy day To make a champagne shower Poach some horn and tusk To build an ivory tower
Been to Philadelphia The day it was closed I walked to New Orleans Down a Louisiana road
The skeletons they hung from the bushes and the trees But not a skull among 'em said boo to me In a time of wine and cheap cigars I'm on top of the world Top of the world Ma
Look Ma no hands Look Ma ain't life grand I'm a super power, I'm a handy man Didn't I turn out, didn't I turn out to be Everything you wanted Ma Ain't you proud of me
It takes a silver tongue To have the Midas touch Not your alchemist Making gold from rust
Been down in Roswell When the Martians came I sailed to Mandeville Across Lake Pontchartrain
