C
Singin' for my supper, so we're eating Mr. Noodles
G C
Watchin' other cats walk along the window sill.

With our mattress on the floor and our records in the cartons,
G C
Dreamin' of the country, running from the bills.
Chorus 1:
F C F C
If reading books was money, spinning records was investing
F C G C
If drinking was consulting, baby we'd be rich
Goin' on a picnic, rollin' in the grass now
The age of miracle and wonder, we're just trying to get our kicks
I would spend my last ten dollars, buy us both tequilas,
Leave the power company waiting, no minutes on my phone
Chorus 1,then:
If dreaming made us money, if singing was investing,
If smoking it was saving, baby we'd be rich
Bridge:
C F
I'm gettin higher, I'm getting higher,
G C
I'm getting higher and higher and higher
Movin' to the country, plantin' us a garden,
I'm cooking up the beans, was thinkin' bout some kids
I been thinkin' lately, it's just you and me baby,
even if we're dancin, on the margins of the skids
Chorus 1, then:
You been reading books, I've been spinning records,
We've been drinking all night...baby, we are rich!
