Some people count success in money and pearls
Some people spend it on fast cars and girls
For me it's sitting, sitting on top of the world
I've got a little bit of time
Come and help me waste it somehow

My girl is happy, she got a 9-5
Come on sister that's more dead than alive
And me I'm sitting, sitting on top of the world
I've got a little bit of money
Come and help me spend it somehow

Pay now and later you will be fine
That's what the good books say
I'm going out to have a good time
While you wait for that rainy day

I never asked you to change your ways
Just understand the things that I do
I've been thinking that one of these days
You can come and sit here too

Don't need the money
Don't need a fast car
You can be happy wherever you are
If you're sitting, sitting on top of the world
I've got a little bit of love
Come and let me share it somehow
