You started out quite meagerly
With nothing to your name
Worked hard, played hard
Raised a family
Figured out how to play the game
Found success along the way
Living life quite comfortably
Then old man time
He caught up with you
Your time for life was up
Now all I need to know is
What's my cut
(What's my cut)
Had lots of money and fine art
(What's my cut)
There where diamonds, gold, and property, I knew one day'd
Belong to me
(What's my cut)
Although it's sad that you are gone
Can't wait to call your stuff my own
Just as soon as I am told
What's my cut
I know you thought I really cared
And cared for you a lot
But you got sick
And we put you in the home
Right there is where I stop
While I waited for the news
The day you bid goodbye
Made a call to my travel guy
Booked a hut, went delux
Now the bill has come and
What's my cut
(What's my cut)
Had lots of money and fine art
(What's my cut)
There was diamonds, gold, and property, I knew one day'd
Belong to me
(What's my cut)
Although it's sad that you are gone
Can't wait to call your stuff my own
Just as soon as I am told
What's my cut
"Throw me somethin' mister!"
That 10k diamond
Turned out to be 12 karat glass
I had it appraised
The day you passed away
I guess you really knew
What was my cut
(What's my cut)
Had lots of money and fine art
(What's my cut)
There where diamonds, gold, and property, I knew one day'd
Belong to me
(What's my cut)
Although it's sad that you are gone
Can't wait to call your stuff my own
Just as soon as I am told
What's my cut
What's my cut
There were diamonds, gold, and property I knew one day'd belong to me.
