The Kinks Most Exclusive Residence For Sale lyrics

It was 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

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

Spent all the money that he had
Because he had a heart and not a head
He spent it all on girls and fancy jewelry
Then he found himself in front of a judge and jury

And the judge said to pay up or you must sell out

Most exclusive residence for sale

Tell all the servants to go away
Couldn't even afford to pay their way
He took to the bottle and drunk himself down
Then he soaked away all the troubles and let them drown

Then he saw the notice on the wall
Most exclusive residence for sale
Most exclusive residence for sale
