Lyrics

Who's that dude who's spending
Money like it's going out of style
Looks like he went Hollywood
Looks like he'll be gone a while
As he turned the corner
Dressed up like some foreigner
From across the bay
Well, if you listened maybe you
Picked up on the words that he said
On this ship I'm skipper
If you're hip I'm hipper
You probably know me as the Ego Tripper
I'm the China Clipper
And I'm Jack the Ripper
You probably know me as the Ego Tripper
Well they say he made a fortune
Sitting on his front porch and he
Don't give a damn
Don't say he went Hollywood
Cause he pulled the Royal Scam
Just say that he went crazy, going through a phase
He's out in outer space
But if you looked close maybe you could see
These words that are written on his face
On this ship I'm skipper
If you're hip I'm hipper
You probably know me as the Ego Tripper
I'm the China Clipper
And I'm Jack the Ripper
You probably know me as the Ego Tripper
There's a little bit of him in you
But if you had a chance you'd do the same thing too
So it I become a stranger
Getting away with murder 'til the thrill is gone
Well, just say I went Hollywood
But I won't be gone for long
On this ship I'm skipper
If you're hip I'm hipper
You probably know me as the Ego Tripper
I'm the China Clipper
And I'm Jack the Ripper
You probably know me as the Ego Tripper
You probably know me as the Ego Tripper
You probably know me as the Ego Tripper
