I'll take a rainy day To make a champagne shower Poach some horn and tusk To build an ivory tower Been to philadelphia The day it was closed I walked to new orleans Down a louisiana road The skeletons they hung from the bushes and the trees But not a skull among 'em said boo to me In a time of wine and cheap cigars I'm on top of the world Top of the world ma Look ma no hands Look ma ain't life grand I'm a super power, I'm a handy man Didn't I turn out, didn't I turn out to be Everything you wanted ma Ain't you proud of me It takes a silver tongue To have the midas touch Not your alchemist Making gold from rust Been down in roswell When the martians came I sailed to mandeville Across lake pontchartrain
