As sad as it may seem
I call pennies in between
These cushions a good means of saving dimes
I never claimed that I'd be rich
Never said I would try
But I live well enough to eat and Ill live long enough to die
So dont sell what you can keep
sell it high or sell it cheap
For you'll miss it just the same,
poor boy poor me
Well my mother's a millionaire now
she spends it in the clouds
so i skipped town hopin' somehow to drown it out
And im sure some day ill hit it big as well
sad enough, only time will tell as to when
or what it's all about
So dont sell what you can keep
sell it high or sell it cheap
For you'll miss it just the same,
poor boy poor me
They say the devil will take your soul
They say this world aint no place to call home
I dont know, I often pay it all no mind
And as sad as it may seem
I called pennies in between
these cushions a good means of saving dimes
So dont sell what you can keep
sell it high or sell it cheap
For you'll miss it just the same,
poor boy poor me
I said dont sell what you can keep
sell it high or sell it cheap
For you'll miss it just the same,
poor boy poor me
