[Chorus:]
  Got to get a grip
  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 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
