The Rich Man and The Orphan Lyrics

There's a rich man in a mansion

And an orphan in the gutter

He's lookin' at his money

And she's lookin' for her mother

And he looks out his window

Underneath the grey sky

And he wonders to himself

What he has yet to buy

And he's kickin' his feet up

Sippin' down his champagne

And she's huddled in the alley

In the cold, muddy rain

And he looks out his window

As the poor orphan cries

And he wonders to himself

What he has yet to buy

And he swallows down lobster

With his greedy gold teeth

And the orphan's so hungry

She's forgotten how to breathe

And he looks out his window

As the orphan crawls by

And he wonders to himself

Who he has yet to buy

There's a rich man in a mansion

And an orphan in the gutter

He's worried 'bout his money

And she's worried 'bout murder

And he looks out his window

As the poor orphan dies

And he wonders to himself

Who he has yet to buy

And he grins and he chuckles

As he counts up his gold

And I wonder, when he's dead

If he can buy back his soul
