lyrics

We all want the same things, I'm no different, I'll admit it
But the law of averages says, not everybody's gonna' get it
Some day I'll be where nobody can touch me
Feel sorry for you cause you're not me
The road to the top may be rocky
But I won't let hell or high water stop me

CHORUS
I'm gonna' be just like The Man They Called Chowder
Don't wanna' be no low down dirty cowtower
Ain't gonna' sit around and let my grapes get sour
Someday I'll be just like they Man They Called Chowder

I may not have many friends, not one on whom I can depend
But we all know in the end, whoever dies with the most toys wins

We all want the same things, I'm no different, I'll admit it
But the law of averages says, not everybody's gonna' get it
Some day the Pope and the Prez will come and visit
They'll say, Man your place is exquisite
We want your money now give it
I've got this dream, I can't quit it

CHORUS
I'm gonna' be just like The Man They Called Chowder
Don't wanna' be no low down dirty cowtower
Ain't gonna' sit around and let my grapes get sour
Someday I'll be just like they Man They Called Chowder

I may not have many friends, not one on whom I can depend
But we all know in the end, whoever dies with the most toys wins
