Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy Lyrics

[00:16.18] Well I get into the game, but it's always the same
[00:19.43] I'm the man with the name, Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, poor boy
[00:25.90] Call me whatever you may, I ain't stoppin' the train
[00:28.82] I got a pill for the pain, Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, poor boy, yeah
[00:36.03] And I know that I can't defeat you
[00:41.28] Yeah, but you don't worry now
[00:44.07] I ain't goin' to preach to you
[00:46.85] Well, there you go
[00:48.89] But I'll be going right there with you
[00:52.23] Yeah wherever you'll be, you'll be lookin' at me
[00:58.07] But don't get out of your chair
[00:59.46] Or put a bow in your hair, you might be makin 'em stare
[01:02.25] So leave the care to the poor boy, the poor boy
[01:07.13] And that's the name of the game
[01:08.75] Keep on stayin' the same, ain't nobody to blame
[01:11.64] Nobody but the poor boy, the poor boy
[01:17.10] Well okay, so you fell asleep today
[01:22.16] What's funny to me, though
[01:24.87] Is that you did that yesterday
[01:27.81] You must think I'm mad
[01:30.18] Doin' all the things that I don't need to do
[01:33.55] But while you're laughin' at me
[01:36.22] Well I'll be laughin' at you
[01:39.03] So I get into the game, but always keep it the same
[01:41.91] And I'll be usin' your name
[01:43.17] But they'll be yellin' at me, "Poor boy, poor boy"
[01:48.49] But I'll be happy for you, 'cause you got nothin' to do
[01:50.99] And I'll be singin' the blues
[01:52.69] Walkin' around singin', "Poor boy, poor boy"
[01:58.02] Sometimes, a cold shiver comes over me
[02:03.03] And it turns me on
[02:05.88] When the song takes over me
[02:09.45] But alright, I can't fight if the odds are against me
[02:14.44] But I can't sit still
[02:17.00] Because I know that I will
[02:20.09] And you'll be watching me girl, takin' over the world
[02:22.92] Let the stripes unfurl, gettin' rich singin', "Poor boy, poor boy"
[02:29.28] And I'll be comin' to play, I do it every day
[02:32.25] And the title will stay, Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, poor boy
[02:38.72] Yeah
[02:46.51]
