Rags 'n' riches
You can throw away the bits an' pick up the pieces
To rags 'n' riches.
But they never quite fit back where they came from.
I took your money, took your automobile too,
An' I drove straight down to a known singles bar.
I fell in love for dollar an' a night.
When she asked where I'd been I answered "not too far".
Rags 'n' riches
You can throw away the bits an' pick up the pieces
To rags 'n' riches.
But they never quite fit back where they came from.
Monday's in love. Tuesday's in Boston.
Wednesday's in bed an' Thursday's at home.
Friday's out cos she ran in Saturday.
An' me I'm in trouble cos Sunday has gone.
Rags 'n' riches
You can throw away the bits an' pick up the pieces
To rags 'n' riches.
But they never quite fit back where they came from.
