C7Now, if I was a bricklayerF7, I wouldn't build just any-C7thing; F7And if I was a ball player, I wouldn't play no second C7string. And if Ab7I were some jew'lry, baby;Bb7 Lord, I'd have to be a diamond C7ring.
[Verse 2]
C7If I were a secret, F7lord, I never would be C7told. F7If I were a jug of wine, then all my flavor would be C7old. I could be Ab7most anything, Bb7But it got to be twenty-four karat solid C7gold, oh.

C7If I was a hacksaw, F7my blade would be razor C7sharp. F7If I were a politician, I could prove that monkeysC7 talk. You can find Ab7the tallest building, Bb7Lord, I'd have me the house on C7top. C7Oh, let's go!
