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 I'll live long enough to die So don't sell what you can keep sell it high or sell it cheap for you'll miss it just the same poor boy poor me My mother's a millionaire now she spends it in the clouds so I skipped town hoping somehow to drown it out and I'm sure someday I'll hit it big as well sad enough only time will tell as to when or what it's all about So don't 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 ain't no place to call home I don't know, I often pay it all no mind and as sad as it may seem I call pennies in between these cushions a good means of saving dimes So don't 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 don't sell what you can keep sell it high or sell it cheap for you'll miss it just the same poor boy poor me
