Never miss a chance to party with the rich 'Cause the rich know how to scratch that party itch. For the rich don't care how much it costs 'Cause a dollar saved is a dollar lost When it's coming faster than you could ever spend it. Now the rich pass platters of shirmp The size of your fist. It makes you weap for all the parties that you missed And the rich get the hippest rock and roll bands And they turn it up as loud as they can stand 'Cause their next-door neighboor lives a half a mile away I don't care what my friends at Green Peace say 'Cause the rich are just as right as a rainy day [Repeat: x4] It's not cheating If it's a catered affair. Now the rich don't care if you crash on their couch 'Cause the rich know what it is to get a little bit soused And you learn what it means to be a gracious host When you wake to the smell of eggs and toast And coffee floating in on a breeze from across the bay And I don't care what my friends at Green Peace say 'Cause the rich are just as right as a rainy day So when the postman brings that hand-addressed note [Repeat: x8] It's not cheating If it's a catered affair.
