There was a time
When I was oh so happy
And nothing, no nothing ever got me down
You could always see me
Having a gay old time
Having a gay old time all over town
I was so bold
I was unafraid
I could make the whole world go 'round
I was a gay deceiver, a gay deceiver
I left a million broken hearts in my wake
Yeah I was a gay deceiver, a gay deceiver
Everything for me was always jake
There was a time
When I was king of the world
And everything I touched turned to gold
I made a ton of money
The old American way
I lied and I cheated and I stoled
Nothing I couldn't have
Nothing I didn't want
'Cause everything can be bought and sold
So now is the time
When I should feel a little humbled
Not everything has worked out my way
They took my ass
And they hauled me off to jail
After they chased me down on the freeway
Now I stare at these walls
Wonder where I went wrong
While the rest of the world makes hay
