Than a mansion in the slums The taste of success only lasts you But it loves you when it comes And you laugh at yourself I'd much rather have a trampoline in my front room Than an isolation tank From the manager's door There is trouble at the bank As you go deep into debt Laugh at yourself Who can stop me With money in my pocket The best of both worlds I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills Than a mansion in the slums Yeah I'd much rather ... I'll take it when it comes And you laugh at yourself And somebody else is always Breathing down your neck While he's hanging over your head The best of both worlds
