Heir Gordon

There was a young man named Arthur Gordon

Heir to a large family fortune

Walking 'round, all prissy and full of himself

Pissing money, showing his wealth

Built a little shrine to the Gordon name

Hyped it from his front-row seat at all the games

Opened a restaurant, called it, guess what?

Arthur's, of course, he did strut his stuff

Heir Gordon

Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee

Heir Gordon

His life sure looks good to me

Got a little Brylcreem, a dab will do

Droppin' funny acid, a tab or two

Wearing undergarments from a Mormon friend

Touching all the bases 'round the Cub Scout den

Heir Gordon

Got a lot of money but he ain't worth a damn

Heir Gordon

Makes me feel just like a man

Heir Gordon

Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee

Heir Gordon

His life sure looks good to me

Heir Gordon

Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee

Heir Gordon

Why is he doing all these nice things for me?

Doing such nice things for me?
