Creedence Clearwater Revival - Penthouse Pauper Lyrics
Now, if I was a bricklayer,
I wouldn't build just anything;
And if I was a ball player,
I wouldn't play no second string.
And if I were some jew'lry, baby;
If I were a secret, Lord, I never would be told.
If I were a jug of wine, Lord, my flavor would be old.
I could be most anything,
But it got to be twenty-four karat solid gold, oh.
If I were a gambler, You know I'd never lose,
And if I were a guitar player,
Lord, I'd have to play the blues.
If I was a hacksaw, My blade would be razor sharp.
You can find the tallest building,
Lord, I'd have me the house on top.
Oh, let's go!
All right, keep goin'!
I'm the penthouse pauper;
I got nothin' to my name.
I'm the penthouse pauper; baby,
I got nothing to my name.
I can be most anything,
'Cause when you got nothin' it's all the same.
Oh, let's move to this song!
Lord, look at my penthouse.

Probably one of Creedence best ignore song.Also they must have played this loud in the studio when they recorded it.

When music literally moved you in every way.

Here for the Punisher, and because CCR is one of the best bands ever. You all should check their other songs!
#fuckyouBilly
unpopular opinion but. I love CCR but, tombstone shadow penthouse pauper and good golly miss molly are not very good songs. They just seem soo half-assed for lack of better term and kinda filler songs. good golly miss molly idk why i just cant stand. That being said i love every single another song by Creedence, ramble tamble and graveyard train being my fav
RagMan anyone? Obscure DC character...
John Wick style scene from Netflix’s Punisher
A roly después de mi papa, chaqueño es el único chaqueño que llevo en mi corazón. Un groso guitarrista y amigo del rock y me freno..... Gracias roly Guerrero !
Hot tune from Creedence, one of my all time favorites by them
Savage billy that scence tho
Dude seeing billya face in them gauls distrubed me lol it creeped me out
Punisher brought me here😆
Ah the perfect song to listen to while walking away from an explosion.
Esaaa guitarra CTMMM!
Incredible they dug up this gem for a current series......1970.....one of my favs......
Creedence anyone!?
Creedence brought me here
Thanks Punisher
The Punisher :)
I am thoroughly disgusted with myself: how in the hell have I never heard this? Heard it on The Punisher.
Billy was like the chill version of Frank
More like the bad copy of Frank, with less hormones
Also here after watching that badass scene in The Punisher!
Here after The Punisher. Billy Russo rocks!!!!
Billy is going to be a badass when he's Jigsaw
The Punisher brought me here!
The punisher anyone?
thee TITANs blade Me
YEAAAAAH MAN, FUCKING RUSSO'S SCENE
Yeah man!. Wow. Great fucking scene! Best.
I came because of Billy Russo a.k.a Jigsaw from Marvel's The Punisher. Great villain.
Punisher Netflix, Billy Russo killing agents on his way out.
I was a CCR fan but didn't know this one, learned it from The Punisher. Even though Billy was a bad dude I still kinda liked him in the end, great character. Great show overall
Ahaha Exactly, good one!
I had a massive erection after that scene.
You bet. Great scene! Best, Rafael.
A fucking asshole, but a baddass indeed
This is a song that you blow up your speakers on!
These guys were right in tune with what was happening at the time...I lived in Richmond and this was one of those records that got a lot of play....dig that bass.
What fools downvote this. Pathetic.
I used this on my channel . It fits perfectly. Please see " do you love the boro?" watch how the fireworks at the end are in perfect sync to the crash of the cymbals. Luck really.
From El Ceritto right next to Berkeley save the best for last
John was born in Beserkly(Berkeley)
Great song. R.I.P. Tom Fogerty.
Re: "Penthouse Pauper" by Credence Clearwater Revival. I used to frickin' ROCK OUT with these dudes at my home in Ross, CA in the late 1960s/early 1970s! In my mind -- they had more power, bayou funk, & gut wrenching soul than any other American rock band! Marin County folks are especially proud of C.C.R. 'cuz they're from the East Bay -- (I think somewhere near Martinez; Contra Costa County)! They were ON FIRE with this song! YOWZA BABY! LOVE C.C.R.! * Cav in NW OR; Canada's Independence Day, (7/1/15)! *
+Robert Cavalier all except(i think Stu) they were from El Cerrito. live about 25 miles from there now
I lived in Richmond and they were right there in the East Bay. Fucking A!
i hear guitar strings snap everytime i hear this song. one of my all time fav guitar players
The great awesome talent of John fogerty is too well represented here but it's too undeniable how whole band was in tune here : the drum amazing job , the rythm guitar and oh yes the guy that engineering that worked to all that to be so perfectly recorded in case Russ Gary !
if you ever read his book Fortunate Son he didin;t consider himself a good player. he writes he actually took lessons later on from those pickers he looked up to.
great kingandqueenradio.com
Definitely one of the greatest songs of all time!!!!!
