OOH HOO
CHILDHOOD
PART OF MY LIFE
IT WASN'T VERY PRETTY
YOU SEE
I WAS BORN AND RAISED
IN THE SLUMS
OF THE CITY
IT WAS A ONE ROOM
SHACK
THAT SLEPT TEN OTHER
CHILDREN
BESIDES ME
WE HARDLY
HAD ENOUGH FOOD
OR ROOM TO SLEEP
IT WAS HARD TIMES
I NEEDED SOMETHING
TO EASE
MY TROUBLED MIND
Mmm MY FATHER
DIDN'T KNOW
THE MEANING OF
WORK
HE DISRESPECTED MAMA
AND TREATED HER
LIKE DIRT
I LEFT HOME SEEKING
A JOB
THAT I NEVER DID FIND
DEPRESSED
AND DOWN HEARTED
I TOOK TO CLOUD NINE
I'M DOIN' FINE
UP HERE ON
ON CLOUD NINE
LISTEN
ONE MORE TIME
I'M DOIN' FINE
UP HERE
ON CLOUD NINE
FOLKS DOWN THERE
TELL ME
THEY SAY GIVE YOURSELF
A CHANCE SON
DON'T LET LIFE
PASS YOU BY
BUT THE WORLD
AROUND YOU
IS A RAT RACE
WHERE ONLY
THE STRONG SURVIVE
IT'S A DOG EAT DOG
WORLD
AND THAT AIN'T NO LIE
IT AIN'T SAFE NO MORE
TO WALK THE STREETS
AT NIGHT
I'M DOIN' FINE
ON CLOUD NINE
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT
CLOUD NINE
YOU CAN BE
WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
YOU AIN'T GOT NO
RESPONSIBILITY
AND EVERY MAN
EVERY MAN IS FREE
AND YOU'RE
A MILLION MILES
FROM REALITY
6 BAR
BREAK
I WANNA SAY
I LOVE THE LIFE I LIVE
AND I'M GONNA LIVE
THE LIFE I LIVE
UP HERE ON CLOUD NINE
AH AH AH AH AH
I'M RIDING HIGH
ON CLOUD NINE
YOU'RE AS FREE
AS A BIRD IN FLIGHT
THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN
DAY AND NIGHT
IT'S A WORLD OF LOVE
AND HARMONY
YOU'RE A MILLION MILES
FROM REALITY
UP ON
UP ON THE WORLD
YOU CAN BE
WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
YOU'RE A MILLION MILES
FROM REALITY
WHERE EVERY MAN
EVERY MAN IS FREE
YOU AIN'T GOT NO
RESPONSIBILITY
YOU CAN BE
WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
AH AH
AH BOO BOO
AH AH BOO BOO
AH BOO BOO
AH AH BOO BOO
AH BOO BOO
AH AH BOO BOO
AH BOO BOO
