WHAT IS A POOR BOY TO DO?
John Soeder
© 2011

When you’re on top of the world
It’s all downhill
And all the money in the world
Can’t buy a thrill
Sing the same old song ’til it sounds brand new
What is a poor boy to do
What is a poor boy to do

I don’t know where I’m going but I’m on my way
Save it for tomorrow but I need it today
The zebras are running the zoo
What is a poor boy to do
What is a poor boy to do

Much ado about nothing
Is better than nothing
’Cause when you got nothing
Much ado is still something

I love you baby but you do me wrong
I can’t sing but I’m singing this song
I’m going blind in a room with a view
What is a poor boy to do
What is a poor boy to do

Much ado about nothing
Is better than nothing
’Cause when you got nothing
Much ado is still something

I love you baby but you do me wrong
I can’t sing but I’m singing this song
I’m going blind in a room with a view
What is a poor boy to do
What is a poor boy to do
What is a poor boy to do
What‘s a poor boy to do
