Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm Tex Richman, Mr. Texas T
People call me Rich 'cause I got more money
I got more cheddar than some supersized nachos
Got cash flow like Robert has dineros
I use more greens than Vincent van Gogh
I make the baker bake my bread out of dough
No, no, don't eat it though, it'll make you ill
There ain't no flour in a hundred dollar bill
[Chorus]
He's Tex Richman (Oh, yeah)
Everybody listen (Here we go now)
Just how great it is to be him (Oh, it's great to be me, yeah)
He's the greatest (I'm the greatest)
You're the lamest (Woo-hoo-hoo)
Muppets are a waste of time, oh, can't you see? (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, it's funny in a rich man's world
When I need a piece of string, I use a string of pearls
If something's for sale, consider it sold
I've got so much gold, I gold-plate my gold
I even got a guy to gold-plate my cat
I don't regret much, but I do regret that
If I could start all over, I'd do it all the same
Except I wouldn't gold-plate little Twinkles again
[Chorus]
He's Tex Richman
Everybody listen (Yoo-hoo-hoo)
Just how great it is to be him (Oh, it's great to be me, yeah)
He's the greatest (Uh, come on)
You're the lamest
Muppets are a waste of time, oh, can't you see? (Oh, it's great to be me)
[Bridge]
I recall a heartbreaking story
About my own tenth birthday party
Should've been a glorious day for me
I'd have been happy as can be
But the Muppets were there to put on a show
They started to dance, they were telling their jokes
I didn't laugh, I didn't know how
Then my friends, they all turned around
And they laughed at me
They laughed at me
I hate you, Muppets, so
[Chorus]
He's Tex Richman (Yeah)
Everybody listen (Come on, y'all)
Just how great it is to be him (Ooh, it's easy having this much green, yeah)
He's the greatest (Hey, sing it again)
He's the greatest (Ooh, it never gets old)
Muppets are a waste of time, oh, can't you see?
[Outro]
Little Muppets, time to give up your dream
