I woke up this morning, my Jacuzzi wouldn't work

Then the butler quit on me, man, can you believe it? Jerk!

B5
How come nobody wants to give me a break?

Well, I found one of my bathrooms and I made it to the sink

I called one of my managers up and I poured myself a drink
B5                         N.C.
Oh, I swear I'd kill that little weasel if I could
B5
Checked myself in the mirror, my hair was looking good, but
     E9             Bm7
I had the blues right there, mean and mean and mean and low

As low as the heels on my alligator shoes

Well, so much for breakfast, I couldn't face lunch
B5
I thought I'd raise my spirits with a little champagne brunch
B5                        N.C.
I take the Lamborghini, the flunky parks the car
B5
Can you believe it, man, this other monkey won't let me in the bar!
    E9
I said, I said, 'Don't you know who I am, man?'
       Bm7
And he says, 'No', no! Can you believe it?
