Get A Grip

Got to get a grip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

If you think I'm vain, better shut your lips

I can't explain how to be fat city

You got to live large, got to let it rip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

Don't you give me no flack, honey, shut your lip

You got to have stones if you're living in the city

If you want to hang loose got to 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 must have zigged when I should have zagged

Got to get a grip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

If you think I'm vain, better shut your lips

I can't explain how to be fat city

You got to live large, got to let it rip

Same old, same old every day

If things don't change you're just gonna rot

Because if you do what you've always done

You'll always get what you always got

Uh, 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 your lips

I can't explain how to be fat city

You got to live large, got to let it rip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

Don't give me no flack, honey shut your lip

You got to have stones if you're living in the city

If you want to hang loose got to 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 vain, better shut you lip

I can't explain how to be fat city

You got to live large, got to let it rip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

Don't you give me no flack, honey, shut your lip

You got to have stones if you're living in the city

If you want to hang loose got to get a grip rip

You want to get high in a New York minute

Choke that smoke, honey crack the whip

Your head gets dead, yeah, as long as you're in it

You want to hang loose, got to get a grip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

Don't give me no flack, honey, shut your lip

You got to have stones if you're living in the city

If you want to hang loose got to get a grip rip
