The Kinks
Most Exclusive Residence for Sale
[Verse 1]
The biggest house in the neighborhood
He went and bought this house when he made good
Ten bedrooms and a swimming pool
Where he entertained all the people that he knew

[Refrain]
But he hit the hard times, had to sell out
Most exclusive residence for sale

[Verse 2]
He went and spent all the money that he had (Ba, ba-ba, ba)
He had a heart and not a head (Ba, ba-ba, ba)
He spent it all on girls and fancy jewelry (Ba, ba-ba, ba)
Then he found himself in front of a judge and jury (Ba, ba-ba, ba)

[Refrain]
And the judge said to pay up, or you must sell out
Most exclusive residence for sale

[Verse 3]
He had to tell all the servants to go away (Ba, ba-ba, ba)
Couldn't even afford to pay their way (Ba, ba-ba, ba)
He took to the bottle and drunk himself down (Ba, ba-ba, ba)
Then he soaked away all the troubles and let them drown (Ba, ba-ba, ba)
[Refrain]
Then he saw a notice on the wall
