I'm a boozer sleeping in the backyards
Ain't got no money ain't even got a dream
Get paid sometimes by welfare
Just feed on my beer
Can a coat call my own
Only coldness I fear
But I'm
A man about town
Ain't tied to your society
Enjoy my paltrey being
I'm a man about town
'Cause I'm free
I'm a minister living in a country house
My pool's filled like my bank account
I get paid by you taxpayers
Yes, I prefer French wine
Twenty servants have I
Lots of estates are mine
And I'm
A man about town
I'm not tied to the mob
I enjoy all my wealth
I'm a man about town
'Cause I'm on the top
Ain't got no money ain't even got a dream
Get paid sometimes by welfare
Just feed on my beer
Can a coat call my own
Only coldness I fear
But I'm
A man about town
Ain't tied to your society
Enjoy my paltrey being
I'm a man about town
'Cause I'm free
I'm a minister living in a country house
My pool's filled like my bank account
I get paid by you taxpayers
Yes, I prefer French wine
Twenty servants have I
Lots of estates are mine
And I'm
A man about town
I'm not tied to the mob
I enjoy all my wealth
I'm a man about town
'Cause I'm on the top
