CA man once said that the pinnacle of Emsuccess
FIs when you've finally lost interGest
CIn money, coEmmpliments, anFd publicGity
                                          CEmao
A noble enough idea, I supposeea

How on earth he does this, heaven only knows
CI know I need a lot more of all three Emof those
Before I ever havFe the nerve to Gturn up my nose
At any money, compliCments, Emand publicityF  G  
C#I'm broke as the Ten GCommandments
FSometimes I'm harder to Gfollow
CI don't know whether to walk to Emschool
Or take my lunFch, should've worn my watch, it's truGe
CYou may think you see a man wEmho is looking for attention,
FBut you're looking at a man who has livedG  
Through a little bit of povertyC,
Some anxieEmty, some scrutinyF  G  
CIf I ever do get my money together,Em  
FI'm gonna take care of all of my friendsG  
CBuy an island, run a phone line, call 'em
                             Em   F(stop)    
Tell 'em all to get f**ked
FOh! That oughta take carCe of them
Just be me and my Emmoney, 
And mFy compliments, and my publGicity
CSing it with me: "money, compliEmments, and publicity"F  G  
GIt's an issue for me, 
FI went to see this therapistG  
She said, "Just dFo the best you can do"G  
CDo the best you can do...F  
CDo the best you can do...F  
GI was hoping for something more specificF  
C Em F  G C  Em F G   C Em F G   F   G   F  G
CA man once said that the pinnacle of successEm  
FIs when you've finally lost interestG  
CIn money, complEmiments, and publicityF  G  
CMany years later, another man would say all thaEmt again
FBut not for the sake of inspiring menG  
CBut rather 'cause he got nine songs
EmAnd knows he needs at least ten
FBefore he can go back to town and turn 'em all inG  
CTo get money--you guessed it--complEmiments, publicitFyG
