Get a Grip

One!
Two!
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
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 wanna live large,
oughta let it rip
Skin and bones,
it ain't such a pity
Don't cha gimme no flack,
honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones
if you're living in the city
If ya wanna hang loose
gotta get a grip

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 wanna live large,
oughta 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'll always get
what you always got
oh, 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 wanna live large,
oughta let it rip
Skin and bones,
it ain't such a pity
Don't cha gimme no flack,
honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones
if you're living in the city
If ya wanna hang loose
gotta get a grip

Who knows for sure yeah
without a doubt
What goes on
when the lights go out
Or who pulls an 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 wanna live large,
oughta let it rip
Skin and bones,
it ain't such a pity
Don't cha gimme no flack,
honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones
if you're living 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 that 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 cha gimme no flack,
honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones
if you're living in the city
If ya wanna hang loose
gotta get a grip!
