Lyrics
[MEDDA] I'm doing alright for myself folks I'm healthy, I'm wealthy, I'm wise My investments and such Have all gone up so much Seems whatever I touch Starts to rise

I've got men, I've got money And yet The thing I want most I can't get

Uh, that feels good

I like that I live in a mansion on Long Island sound I pulled up a weed, they found oil in the ground But you telling me you don't want me around- Now, honey, that's rich

Some guys give me vermans Chincilla and mink And some give me diamonds As big as a sink But you wouldn't give me so Much as a wink Now, baby, that's rich

I get brandy from Andy And candy from Scott Oh, and Frank and Eduardo Chipped in for a yacht

I get stares from the fellas And prayers from the pope But I ran out my luck Getting stuck on some dope!

Hey baby, I was just talking about you Now, listen, sport This life's too short To waste it on you It may be rough But soon enough I'll learn to make do With the mansion, the oil well The diamonds, the yacht With Andy, Eduardo The pontiff and Scott And Frank. Oooooo! And my bank! So spill no tears for me 'Cause there's one thing you ain't That I'll always be And honey Yeah, that's right That's rich! That's rich! That's rich! That's rich!
