Some people count success in money and pearls
some people spend it on fast cars and girls
for me it's sitting, sitting on top of the world
i've got a little bit of time
come and help me waste it somehow
My girl is happy, she got a 9-5
come on sister that's more dead than alive
and me i'm sitting, sitting on top of the world
i've got a little bit of money
come and help me spend it somehow
Pay now and later you will be fine
that's what the good books say
i'm going out to have a good time
while you wait for that rainy day
I never asked you to change your ways
just understand the things that i do
i've been thinking that one of these days
you can come and sit here too
Don't need the money
don't need a fast car
you can be happy wherever you are
if you're sitting, sitting on top of the world
i've got a little bit of love
come and let me share it somehow
