I'll take a rainy day to make a champagne shower
Poach some horn and tusk to build an ivory tower
Been to Philadelphia, the day it was closed
I walked to New Orleans down a Louisiana road
The skeletons they hung from the bushes and the trees
But not a skull among 'em said boo to me
In a time of wine and cheap cigars I'm on top of the world
Top of the world Ma
Chorus:
Look Ma no hands, look Ma ain't life grand
I'm a super power, and I'm a handy man
Didn't I turn out, didn't I turn out to be
Everything you wanted Ma ain't you proud of me
It takes a silver tongue to have the Midas touch
Not your alchemist making gold from rust
Been down in Roswell when the Martians came
I sailed to Mandeville across Lake Pontchartrain
Chorus:
Look Ma no hands, look Ma ain't life grand
I'm a super power, and I'm a handy man
Didn't I turn out, didn't I turn out to be
Everything you wanted Ma ain't you proud of me
The skeletons they hung from the bushes and the trees
But not a skull among 'em said boo to me
In a time of wine and cheap cigars I'm on top of the world
I'm on top of the world Ma
Chorus:
Look Ma no hands, look Ma ain't life grand
I'm a super power, and I'm a handy man
Didn't I turn out, didn't I turn out to be
Everything you wanted Ma ain't you proud of me
Didn't I turn out, didn't I turn out to be
Everything you wanted Ma ain't you proud of me
