[bad word] 
Got to get a grip
Skin and bones it ain't such a pity
If you think that I'm vain, better shut ya lip
I can't explain how to be a fat city
You gotta live large, better 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 time 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
 [bad word] 
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
 [bad word] 
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 in when I pull out
And what is a one-eyed trouser trout?

I was so shortsighted
Now the wrong been righted
I feel so delighted
I get so excited
 [bad word] 
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

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
