Lookin' after No. 1
The world owes me a livingI've waited on this dole queue too longI've been standin' in the rain for fifteen minutesThat's a quarter of an hour too long
I'll take all they can give meAnd then I'm gonna ask for more'Cause the money's buried deep in the Bank of EnglandAnd I want the key to the vault
I'm gonna take your moneyCount your loss when I'm goneI'm alright, JackI'm lookin' after Number One
If I want something I get itDon't matter what I have to doI'll step on your face, on my mother's graveNever underestimate me, I'm nobody's fool
And I owe nobody nothing'Cause it's me that must come throughWhy can't you stop, think, look?Baby, I was ?
I'm gonna take your moneyCount your loss when I'm goneI'm alright, JackI'm lookin' after Number One
I don't wanna be like youI don't wanna live like youI don't wanna talk like you-ou-ou, at all
Number One
Don't give me "love thy neighbour"Don't give me charityDon't give me "peace and love" or "the good lord above"You only get in my way with your stupid ideas
I am an islandEntire of myselfAnd when I get old, older than todayI'll never need anybody's help in any way
I'm gonna take your moneyCount your loss when I'm goneI'm alright, Jack,I'm lookin' after Number One
And I don't wanna be like youAnd I don't wanna live like youAnd I don't wanna talk like you-ou-ou
I'm gonna be likeI'm gonna be likeI'm gonna be like me
