Rich Man's Blues lyrics

I wanna rich man; all you poor men have got to go

Yes, I wanna rich man; all you poor men have got to go

I want my breakfast in bed and a butler to open my door

He must have everything I need, plus that good old jelly roll

Yes, he must have everything I need, plus that good old jelly roll

He's got to have furs and diamond rings to satisfy my soul

I want to travel abroad, see Cuba and Spain

Don't want to go in a car, but on jet-propelled plane

That's why he's gotta be rich; all you poor men have got to go

Must have everything I want; yes, that includes his gold

Girls, if you've got a rich man, you'd better chain him to your side

Yes, if you've got a rich man, you'd better chain him to your side

'Cause if he ever flags this train, I'm sure going to let him ride
