The money won't last forever --- 

  rent man called twice today. 

I hope some day you'll find me 

  in the lap of luxury. 



Searched for a new apartment 

  but they don't grow on trees. 

Just want to lay my head 

  in the lap of luxury. 



Stepped out on a new horizon --- 

  felt a new spring in my feet. 

Found a job, it could set me up 

  dangling in the lap of luxury. 



And the gaffer is a man of substance --- 

  drives a jag and takes high tea. 

Lives beyond the industrial wasteland, 

  laughing in the lap of luxury. 



I need money, now, to soothe my heart! 



Buy me a Datsun or Toyota --- 

  get the tax man to agree 

  all expenses I can muster 

  from the lap of luxury.
