[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
