lirik lagu big tom (ire) - life’s amazing sum
[verse 1]
thank you, mr. jones, i guess it’s very kind of you
to meet me by appointment, maybe in a week or two
but you say you may be out of town ’cause you’re a busy man
i should see your secretary, and she’ll help me if she can
[verse 2]
we went to school together, sir, and we sat side by side
you’d copy o’er my shoulder, you were a little short on pride
but i always tried to help you, sir, you knew i didn’t mind
’cause i wouldn’t want to move ahead and leave a friend behind
[chorus]
you’d bring flowers for the teacher, and i watched you as you smiled
even then, you gained advantage over every other child
but you became a millionaire, you’d call me just a bum
guess i miscalculated on life’s amazing sum
[verse 3]
the world’s been very kind to you, be thankful, mr. jones
you don’t know the pain and nagging need of old, arthritic bones
you live up in your mansion, where its views are clear to sea
and i’m here in this flophouse, just up highway 203
[verse 4]
you’re high up on the ladder, i’m below the bottom rung
but, on your way, you gathered some shoeshine on your thumb
i just phoned today to tell you that your mother’s here with me
she died in this old flophouse, just up highway 203
[chorus]
you’d bring flowers for the teacher, and i watched you as you smiled
even then, you gained advantage over every other child
but you became a millionaire, you’d call me just a bum
guess i miscalculated on life’s amazing sum
