I bought a 12-room house, a mountain lodge A lemon-yellow Cadillac in a blue garage I'm a-breaking my back putting up a front for you I bought an aeroplane, it's just for kicks Holds twice as many passengers as a DC-6 I'm a-breaking my back putting up a front for you
Oh say, my heart goes bang, babe When I look at you, sister, I'm gone Who gives a hang, babe If my bank account is overdrawn?
I'm getting pedicures and manicures Just ever since I took a look at that pan of yours I'm breaking my back putting up a front for you I own a private train, it's pure gold leaf On Friday nights I hook it onto the Super Chief Breaking my back putting up a front for you.
Yeah! I got a French valet, a camp-de-aide A very famous movie star is my upstairs maid Breaking my back putting up a front for you.
Oh, you girl! Oh say, my heart goes bang, babe When I look at you, sister, I choke Who gives a hang, babe? I'm a Cuban who's got to go broke
I bought a diamond ring worth 20 grand But I would gladly trade it in for a wedding band I'm a-breaking my back putting up a front for you Oh, breaking my back putting up a front for you.
