Put Me On Top lyrics

I should be knocking on the door of the pearly gates
why keep a poor man alive in a job he hates
I ve heard that good things will come to he who waits
I should be riding on a float in the hit parade
instead of sitting on the curb behind the barricade
another verse in the doormat serenade
        Won t you put me on top
        won t you put me on top, or change the odds
        won t you put me on top
        or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box
Oh, at least put some hope in the box for me
cause it s only black and white and not a lot of each
there s a remote on the shelf, but it s out of reach
        Won t you put me on top
        won t you put me on top, or change the odds
        won t you put me on top
        or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box
Put some hope in the bottom of the box
I need it
