[Verse]
Bm
I woke up this morning, my Jacuzzi wouldn't work
Bm
Then the butler quit on me, man, can you believe it? Jerk!
Bm
Must've been my artistic temperament he couldn't take
Bm
How come nobody wants to give me a break?
[Chorus]
Em Bm
I got the blues right there, mean and low
F#
I'm as low as the heels of my alligator shoes
G F# F# F#
You should know how it feels
Bm
to have these millionaire blues
Em G F# F# F# F# F#

Well, I found one of my bathrooms and I made it to the sink

Oh, I swear I'd kill that little weasel if I could

Checked myself in the mirror, my hair was looking good, but

Bm
Well, so much for breakfast, I couldn't face lunch
Bm
I thought I'd raise my spirits with a little champagne brunch
Bm Bm
I take the Lamborghini, the flunky parks the car
N.C.
Can you believe it, man, this other monkey won't let me in the bar!
[Chorus]
Em
I said, I said, 'Don't you know who I am, man?'
Bm
And he says, 'No', no! Can you believe it?

I'm as low as the heels of these alligator shoes

Bm
Bad, bad! ... That's bad! ... Yeah. So hard ... It's hard sometimes for a boy.
Bm
Ah, I like that! ... That's good ... Get down! ... You're making a very big mistake, man
Bm
Oh yeah ... You'll never work in this town again ... All right
