From rags to riches and back again
I throw my pearls at you swine
Kiss and tell, kiss and tell. I do that all the time
“I'm a man in a million…Ya! Ya! Ya! Yo!
Very pleased to meet me?
I'll tell you what to do!
Put some money in my pocket, your hand on my heart
And I'll hold my head up high! ”
Here she comes now… My queen of desire…
Tip my hat to this OOh indulgence
Come're baby! Keep me warm! Come're baby!
Keep me warm!
“Sad are my dreams but sweet are the tears
Tears of true love. Tears of regret
So… we all must cry! We all must cry! ”
“The world's forgiven! The world's forgot!
The world's just singin' ‘Ba da bop bop bow! '
No! The world won't listen 'cause the world don't know that…
‘That's life baby, ba da bop bop bow! '
‘That's life baby! Ba da bop bop bow. That's life' ”
My heart is broken, little pieces all over the floor
“Come on! Come're, pick me up, put me in your pocket”
You win some and you lose some but that's life baby –
ba da bop bop bow! I say –
“Buy me a drink and I'll be just like you
Where do ya come from? What do you do?
Buy me a drink, I'll be just like you
Where do you come from? What do you do?
Buy me a drink, I'll be just like you
Where do you come from? What do you do? ”
With your hearts handmade in heaven
Lots of faith, hope and charity…
No need to feed the poor. I got my dignity!
I'm no beggar. I'm the man!
Set them up, I'll knock ‘em down!
A man in a million I've seen it all
You people rise, I just fall
From rags to riches and back again
I throw my pearls at you swine
Kiss and tell, kiss and tell. Oh! I do that all the time…
Put some money in my pocket your hand on my heart
and I'll hold my head up high…
”The world's forgiven. The world's forgot
The world's just singin' ‘Ba da bop bop bow! '
No! The world won't listen
'cause the world don't know that
‘That's life baby, ba da bop bop bow! '
‘That's life baby! Ba da bop bop bow
That's life' so let's, so let's, so let's dance!
That's life baby! Ooh that's…
Life baby! Life baby! Buy me a drink
and I'll be just like you
Where do you come from? What do you do? ”
Oh! my heart is broken, little pieces all over the floor
“Pick me up, put me in your pocket
take me home, keep me warm… ” Ya! Ya! … Yo!
