We can buy that mansion on the hill,
We’ll fill it up until it’s filled.
We’ll buy a big black Cadillac
And we’ll keep an extra one in the back.
We’ll sit home just listening
To the sounds of the winds when they’re breaking
And we can buy that diamond ring
And just about any other thing
With somebody else’s money.
We can buy you that flower garden
With every rose that’s ever risen.
With a blanket and a safety pin
We’ll keep away all the boogie men.
And we can buy you that swing
Swing through the sky’s openings
And we can buy that diamond ring
And just about any other thing
With somebody else’s money.
We can tattoo nickels on our skin,
We’ll drain our veins and put honey in.
We’ll buy new fingers, two times ten,
We’ll even put pennies in our chins.
We’ll buy a silver set of wings,
Lay ’em on our backs for the winds
And we can buy that diamond ring
And just about any other thing
With somebody else’s money.
We’ll crash in on the neighbor’s wedding,
