lyrics

My floor is a lovely bed this last year.
My dog a pleasant space heater in frigid January.
These ramen noodles and refried beans comprise a lush banquet.
My splendid luck, to be a gourmand of foil seasoning packets.

My shack is sovereign land.
By divine right I rule, king, punjab, rajah!
See the voluptuous curve of these ribs beneath skin?

My harem of dusty book agree.
There is no fairer lord in all the shack.
No fairer lord in all the shack.
There is no fairer lord in all the shack.
My harem of dusty books agree.

Hold, the truth now.
See this pen? This paper?
Hold, the truth now.
See this pen? This paper?
I am a wealthy lord.

I am a wealthy, wealthy lord.
I am a wealthy lord.
My harem of dusty books agree.
Shades drawn in the dark,
no money for groceries, bills are overdue.
My harem of dusty books agree.
There is no fairer lord in all the shack.
My harem of dusty books agree.

Sleeping on the couch. Sleeping and feeding the dog.
I need a woman.
Sleeping on the couch. Sleeping and feeding the dog.
Man, I need a woman.

Roaches, dirty floor, whiskers in the bathroom sink
prove that I exist.
Prove that I exist.
I am a wealthy lord.
Roaches, dirty floor, whiskers in the bathroom sink
prove that I exist.
My harem of dusty books agree.
There is no fairer lord in all the shack.

Roaches, dirty floor, whiskers in the bathroom sink,
prove that I exist.
They prove that I exist.

Hold, the truth now.
See this pen? This paper?
I am a wealthy lord.
My harem of dusty books agree.
There is no fairer lord in all the shack.
I am wealthy.
