[Verse] Now if you're goin' down to Mexico With a couple of women You might see a man He's got a cardboard palace with crows for friends He knows all the words to your favorite song [Chorus] He'll tell you Happiness ain't got a thing to do with gold If you're too greedy Then you'll never have enough So let me show you my cardboard palace And let me introduce you to all my friends [Verse] Now if you go back to your high-rise apartment With your fake friends and your trophy wife All of a sudden It just don't seem so good And you don't know how to live your life [Chorus] And you're thinkin' Happiness ain't got a thing to do with gold If you're too greedy Then you'll never have enough So let me show you my cardboard palace And let me introduce you to all my friends [Verse] So you pack your bags and you leave the wife And you drive your car down to Mexico And you try to find the man with the cardboard palace But he ain't there And you're all alone [Chorus] And you're thinkin' Happiness ain't got a thing to do with gold If you're too greedy Then you'll never have enough So let me show you my cardboard palace And let me introduce you to all my friends
