I'll take a rainy day   To make a champagne shower   Poach some horn and tusk   To build an ivory tower      Been to Philadelphia    The day it was closed   I walked to New Orleans   Down a Louisiana road      The skeletons they hung from the bushes and the trees   But not a skull among 'em said boo to me   In a time of wine and cheap cigars   I'm on top of the world   Top of the world Ma      Look Ma no hands   Look Ma ain't life grand   I'm a super power, I'm a handy man   Didn't I turn out, didn't I turn out to be   Everything you wanted Ma   Ain't you proud of me      It takes a silver tongue   To have the Midas touch   Not your alchemist   Making gold from rust      Been down in Roswell   When the Martians came   I sailed to Mandeville   Across Lake Pontchartrain
