I'll hang your work up on my wall
Slummin' in paradise
And if I take my time, all the others give in
Hose you down and dress you up real nice
And try to place your superstar
I'll hang your work up on my wall
And try to place your superstar

Standing on the corner, how's your view?
You can tell the story of your life
It's a risk I'd gladly take from time to time
So don't worry about yourself at all
Hose you down and dress you up real nice
I wonder how you feel, oh, do I?
With some brand new plans and a fancy car

And you feel like you're standing in line
Without slummin' in paradise

I'll hang your work up on my wall
Without slummin' in paradise
Handed over right away
So don't worry about yourself at all
You can tell the story of your life
Hose you down and dress you up real nice
So don't worry about yourself at all

Oh, no, no, no
You can tell the story of your life

I know the first time I found you wonderful

With some brand new plans and a fancy car
I just know that you're worth the wait
See, it's not a pretty sight alone

Without slummin' in paradise

It's of no concern
You won't often see this letter
Slummin' in paradise
And try to place your superstar
From the other side, oh, Mr. Right

With some brand new plans and a fancy car
