They say that Richard Cory
   Owns one-half of this here town
   With political connections
   Spread his wealth around
  
   Born into society, a banker's only child
   He had everything a man could want
   Power, grace and style
  
   But I, work in his factory
   And I curse the life I'm livin'
   And I curse my poverty
   That I wish that I could be
   Yeah, I wish that I could be
   Lord, I wish that I could be, Richard Cory
  
   Paper's print his pictures
   Almost everywhere he go
   Richard Cory at the opera
   Richard Cory at the show
  
   And the rumours of his a-parties
   And the orgies on his yacht
   Well, he surely must be happy
   With everythang that he has got
  
   But I, work in his factory
   And I curse the life I'm livin'
   And I curse my poverty
   And I wish that I could be
   I wish that I could be, yea-ah
   I wish that I could be, Richard Cory
  
   He freely gave to charity
   And had that common touch
   They were grateful for his patronage
   And thanked him very much
  
   So my mind was filled with wonder
   When the evenin' headlines read
   That Richard Cory went home last night
   And put a bullet through his head, hu
  
   But I, I, I, work in his factory
   And I, I don't don't dig the life I'm livin'
   And I don't dig my poverty
   And I wish that I could be
   Yeah, an' I wish that I could be
   Well, wish that I could be, Richard Cory
  
   Ay-hey, I wish that I could be
   I wish that I could be
   Sometime, I wish that I could be
   A-just like a-Richard Cory
   Just li-iiiiiiike, a-Richard Cory
   A-Richard Cory
   A-Richard Cory
   Just like Richard Cory
