Stinking Rich Lyrics by Peter Bibby

Butcher / Hairstylist / Beautician

2014

[Spoken Intro]
Bullshit
[Verse 1]
Yeah, one day I'm gonna be rich and glamorous
I'll drive my friends around in a golden bus
I'll buy my mum a fancy dinner, buy my dad a new TV
Take my buddies to the pub, all the drinks will be on me
And I won't be late on bills, and I won't be late on rent
I'll take my girlfriend camping in my thousand-dollar tent
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 2]
I'll buy some fresh new clothes, ones without any holes
Not only will I own a fridge, but there'll be food in it
I'll buy a nice house on a big block of land
That backs onto the ocean and I won't give a damn
If you wanna come and stay, I'll be glad to put you up
There'll be room to lay your head and lots of juice to fill your cup
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 3]
I'll buy ten Big Issues from my local vendor
Donating to charity will be on my agenda
I'll tip the buskers notes, I'll take a hobo on my boat
Instead of Emu Export, we'll drink Mountain Goat
And if you need a lift, I'll take you anywhere
To the Kingsbury shops or the Republic of Zaire
I'll drop you off in Harlem and we can dance to jazz
Or if you're feeling gutsy, we can stop in at Alcatraz
Oh, yeah
[Verse 4]
Yeah, one day, I'm gonna be so damn wealthy
I'll have a doctor living downstairs, making sure I'm healthy
One day, I'm gonna be stinking rich
I'll have a fucking robot just to scratch my fucking itch
Yeah, I'm gonna have so much money
Looking back on these dole days is gonna seem pretty funny
[Verse 5]
I'll buy a football team, I'll start the world's best pie shop
All of my ice creams will have a cherry on top
And speaking of cherries, I'll buy a whole farm
I'll pay my workers well, just enough to keep 'em calm
But I'll probably get bored and get a cocaine habit
I'll go to Amsterdam and fuck prostitutes like a rabbit
And gamble in Las Vegas, and lose all of my money
And end up in the street with nothing but a memory
Of the time I was so damn wealthy, ah-ooh
Yeah, what I would give to be stinking rich
I just itch, I just itch, I just itch
Yeah, I just need a couple of bucks
Can you please help me, sir?
Can't you see I'm down on my luck?
[Verse 6]
You'll see me selling The Big Issue on the street all afternoon
You'll see me busking on the corner, and drinking sacks of goon
I'll dream of shiny yachts 'til I remember what I got
Just a pair of shoes with holes in 'em and a big old soggy box
But that's alright, I just remember what I've got
I just remember what I've got
I just remember what I've got
I just remember what I've got
I just remember what I've got
I just remember what I've got
I just remember what I've got
