lyrics

Champagne taste, beer money
Will get you nowhere fast
Will get you nowhere
Champagne taste, beer money
You know it couldn't last

Cause if you knew me then you'd see it's a lonely road
I play with the rich kids, with them I feel at home
I dream of fairy-tale palaces lined with gold
So, I play with the Rich kids, but I ain't got a home

Champagne taste, beer money
My poor old Nan would say
Champagne taste, beer money
She gave it all away

Cause if you knew me then you'd know it's a lonely road
I play with the rich kids, with them I feel at home
I dream of fairy-tale palaces lined with gold
I play with the Rich kids, but I ain't got a home

Too bad, you never had a choice in this
So sad, you can't believe it boy you know
But I can't live like this, with them I'd run around
With them I feel at home, with them I feel at home

Cause if you knew me then you'd see it's a lonely road
I play with the rich kids, with them I feel at home
I dream of fairy-tale palaces lined with gold
So, I play with the Rich kids, but I ain't got a home
