I'm livin' high sometimes, livin' high
I'm gettin' by sometimes, gettin' by
I went and bought a Cadillac
And then the man come take it back
Livin' high sometimes, livin' high

When I got money, it feels so funny
If I can't dine at the Ritz
When you're through lending and I'm through spending
I ain't even got two bits
I love to play poker, mess with the jokers
So they raised the pots on me
I'm so kind-hearted, when I get started
It's goodbye salary

I'm livin' high sometimes, livin' high
I'm gettin' by sometimеs, gettin' by
I had a plan, I was content
Until the landlord askеd for rent
Livin' high sometimes, livin' high
