[Chorus:]

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 fat city

You gotta live large, gotta 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 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

[Chorus]



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

Uh could that be nothin'

[Chorus]



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, rip



Who knows for sure yeah without a doubt

What goes on when the lights go out

Or who pulls in when I pull out

And what's a one eyed trouser trout?



I was so short sighted

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 vein, better shut ya lip

I can't explain how to be fat city

You gotta live large, gotta 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 the whip

Your head gets dead, yea,

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
