Lyrics

I got a-plenty lingerie
Oh so lacy and black
I won a twenty-horse parlay
It's a positive fact
All I need is a solid gold Cadillac
I own me thirty large hotels
They provide me some jack
I own some dirty oil wells
But I may give them back
All I need is a solid gold Cadillac
A crazy impulse
And I bought me a buffalo herd
Pardon my word
A prince from somewhere comes a-runnin'
When I say the word
Now let me see, what was that word?
Hm, honey
I got me forty brand new furs
To throw over my slacks
I got a sporty new chauffeur
And I don't want no cracks
He'd be cute in a solid gold Cadillac
Can't you just see the envy in the eyes of the other girls
Honey, when Pearly Mae drives up to the supermarket
In this fabulous car?
When I go shoppin'
Impulsively I just buy out the store
Oh, what a bore
A king comes hoppin'
At the sound of my knock on his door
You see, he's the fatherless child
I was tellin' you about in the first chorus
I got me fifty nifty gents
What a good-lookin' mob
And one is shifty but intense
He's my favorite slob
He'd be touched by a solid gold Cadillac
Now honey, it's, it's not for ambition
Or just this, uh, social position
That, uh, I want this big bric-a-brac
It's just that I need a solid gold Cadillac
And you know what, while I'm thinkin' about it, honey
I wish the President of General Motors
Would personally see to it
That my cigarette lighter is workin'
