Got to get a grip
Skin and bones, it ain`t such a pity
If you think I`m vain, better shut ya lip
I can`t explain how to be a fat city
You gotta live large, gotta let it rip
Skin and bones, it ain`t such a pity
Don`t ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you`re livin` in the city
If ya wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip - rip
Once upon a crime I thought I was cool but I don`t want to brag
Once I crossed the line I think I musta zigged when I shoulda zagged
Got to get a grip
Skin and bones, it ain`t such a pity
If you think I`m vain, better shut ya lip
I can`t explain how to be a fat city
You gotta live large, gotta let it rip
Same old, same old every day if things don`t change you`re just gonna rot
`Cause if you do what you`ve always done, you`ve always get what
you`ve always got
Uuh, could that be nothing
Got to get a grip
Skin and bones, it ain`t such a pity
If you think I`m vain, better shut ya lip
I can`t explain how to be a fat city
You gotta live large, gotta let it rip
Skin and bones, it ain`t such a pity
Don`t ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you`re livin` in the city
If ya wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip
Who knows for sure without a doubt
What goes on when the lights go out
Or who pulls in when I pull out
And what is a one-eyed trouser trout
I was so shortsighted, now the wrong been righted
I feel so delighted, I get so excited
Skin and bones, it ain`t such a pity
If you think I`m vain, better shut ya lip
I can`t explain how to be a fat city
You gotta live large, gotta let it rip
Skin and bones, it ain`t such a pity
Don`t ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you`re livin` in the city
If ya wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip
Skin and bones, it ain`t such a pity
Don`t ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you`re livin` in the city
If ya wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip
You wanna get high in a New York minute
Choke that smoke, honey crack the whip
Your head gets dead as long as you`re in it
You wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip
Skin and bones, it ain`t such a pity
Don`t ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you`re livin` in the city
If ya wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip
