Now we're up in the big leagues
Now we're up in the big league
Gettin' our turn at bat.
We're movin on up, to these skies.
We're movin' on up, to the East Side.
'Cause Charley's gotta pee on the pot.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
As long as sweet lips are chewin' me, baby.
As long as we live, it's you and me, baby.
As long as we're livin', chewin' meat baby
As long as we live, it's you 'n' me baby.
Bees don't buzz by the grill.
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Fish don't fry in the kitchen
Birds don't pee on the grill
It took a whole lot of trainin' to get up that hill
But now we're up in the big seas
And it's are tune for a hat.
Fish don't fry on the kitchen
Beans don't burn on the grill

Dig a hole, try again, just to get up and hilla!
Double you up in the big leagues. Gettin' my turn at bat.
Long speed limp, you're sure mean baby, ain't nothin wrong with that word.
