Put Me On Top Lyrics

Put Me On Top lyrics

I should be knocking on the door of the pearly gates
why keep a poor man
alive in a job he hates
I've heard that good things will come to he who
waits
I should be riding on a float in the hit parade
instead of sitting
on the curb behind the barricade
another verse in the doormat serenade
  
     Won't you put me on top
        won't you put me on top, or change the
odds
        won't you put me on top
        or at least put some hope in
the bottom of the box
Oh, at least put some hope in the box for me
'cause
it's only black and white and not a lot of each
there's a remote on the
shelf, but it's out of reach
        Won't you put me on top
       
won't you put me on top, or change the odds
        won't you put me on
top
        or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box
Put some
hope in the bottom of the box
I need it
