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
