I met a fan dancer
down in Southside
Birmingham
She was runnin'
from a fat man
Sellin' salvation in his hand
Now he's tryin' to save me
But I'm doin' all right
The best that I can
Just another fallen angel
Tryin' to get through the night
Step by step one by one
Higher and higher
Step by step rung by rung
We're climbing Jacob's ladder
Comin' over the airwaves
the man says I'm overdue
Sing along send some money
Join the chosen few
Hey Mister I'm not in a hurry
And I don't want to be like you
All I want from tomorrow
is to get it better than today
Step by step one by one
Higher and higher
Step by step rung by rung
We're climbing Jacob's ladder
All I want from tomorrow
is to get it better than today
Step by step one by one
Higher and higher
Step by step rung by rung
Climbing and climbing
Step by step one by one
Step by step rung by rung
Step by step
