Verse 1: (use ska rhythm) 
A 
Keep both my eyes transfixed on the prize 
D 
A high-rise under blue skies my piece of the pie 
A 
There's a hole in my heart that I know how to fill 
E 
That's to light my cigarettes with a hundred dollar bill 
A 
It's all about cash flow the California dream 
D 
To make the grade you gotta make the green 
A 
My friend I'm the champion I've no time for losers 
E 
Never ask for nothing cuz' beggars can't be choosers

Verse 2: 
 
 
Lookin' out for number one's a full time occupation 
I give to me myself and I my own salvation 
Some people try to tell me God can save me from my sin 
God can take a number and I'll pencil Him in 
Busy o' so busy I got no time to search 
My Sunday's are all booked I got no time for church 
That's for those poor souls dry as a stone 
God bless this child cuz' this child's got his own 
 
 
Chorus  
A   G                C           D       
Oh, let my pride fall down, I'm a little man  (2x)   
 
 
Verse 3: 
 
 
He who gets the most toys and dies is the winner 
I'm livin' the high life with lobster tail dinners 
My Lexus, my yaucht, my gold chains and rings 
These are a few of my favorite things 
But most of all I keep my billfold the closest to my heart 
House decorated with million dollar works of art 
Roll with the bigwigs they think I am the man 
But then I stop and look and think about how big I really am 
 
 
Chorus  4x 
 
 
Dist kicks in... 
          D5       G5    A5    } 
          D5       G5  B5  A5  } 2x 
           
Then...   G5   A5    8x  
 
 
          A5  C5  G5  A5  C5  D5  (2x) 
 
 
Refrain: (play G5   A5  8x) 
 
 
Mammon is an unforgiving God so I cast him away 
I live my life to God, not to get paid 
Money can never save soul and I don't think I can 
I look to God and I fell like a little man 
 
 
Chorus 4x (use power chords with dist.)
