Up! Up! Up! — текст песни (Bette Midler)

My grandpa died from asbestos.
My daddy`s name was Estes.
And I don`t know if that messed us up,
or what it did.

My brother was-a workin` as an boiler.
He was glad he wasn`t workin` as an oiler.
One day my sister went and lit up a match
and up is where they went.

They went up! up! up!
like a guy on a rocket.
Up! up! up!
Keep your luck, don`t hock it.
Up! up! up!
Put your finger in a socket.
Don`t you know that`s up, Jack?

Aaah, now that leaves me with my cousins.
You know I got `em by the dozens.
Well, they brought home a bomb and they didn`t act calm,
`cause up is where they went.

Ah, but now everything is satisfactory.
I`m on the swing shift at the big factory.
Oooh, I keep cuttin`, I just keep struttin`
`cause up is where I`m goin`.

I`m goin` up! up! up!
Push the elevator button.
Up! up! up!
Like superman`s cousin.
Up! up! up!
Ooh, fella, now I`m buzzin`.
Don`t you know that`s up, Chuck?
All right, Chuck.

While gossiping over the back fence,
my aunt was talking in her accents.
The fickle finger of fate paced a well placed goose,
and up is where she went.

While visiting a funeral parlor,
Uncle Louie, he let out a holler.
A stiff went and winked at him
and guess where he went?

He went up! up!
Make the north pole my landin`.
Up! up!
Talk frivolous abandon.
Up! up!
Boom! From sitting to standing.
Don`t you know that`s up?

Goin` up and up and up
and up and up and up and up!
Doodlie-do-da do!
