The money won't last forever ---
  rent man called twice today.
  I hope some day you'll find me
  in the lap of luxury.
    Searched for a new apartment
  but they don't grow on trees.
  Just want to lay my head
  in the lap of luxury.
    Stepped out on a new horizon ---
  felt a new spring in my feet.
  Found a job, it could set me up
  dangling in the lap of luxury.
    And the gaffer is a man of substance ---
  drives a jag and takes high tea.
  Lives beyond the industrial wasteland,
  laughing in the lap of luxury.
    I need money, now, to soothe my heart!
    Buy me a Datsun or Toyota ---
  get the tax man to agree
  all expenses I can muster
  from the lap of luxury.
