Lyrics

[Intro] I'm a West Coast junkie An East Coast monkey Got an elephant dick under my arm [Intro 2] (Cheers, screams, laughing, and excitement from the band and guests) Okay! I said 'ey! Whisky Hey! Hey, man Hey! .. man 'Ey, yeah! Hey, yeah The Whiskey! Ooh, yeah (Cheers, screams, laughing, and excitement from the band and guests) Here we go, now Downtown ho Ariba! [Verse 1] You pack your bags and you move to the city There's somethin' missin' here at home You fix your hair and you look real pretty It's time to get it out on your own You're always fightin' with your mama and you papa Your family life is one big pain When you, goina', goina' move to the city? Uh to the city where it all began [Chorus 1] You gotta move, you gotta move Look out Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma Now you gotta move Oww, yeah Oh, yeah (You know this) [Verse 2] You stole your mama's car And your daddy's plastic credit card You're sixteen and you can't get a job You're not goin' very far You're always fightin' with the teachers and the police The soldier life is too insane When you, goina, gonna move to the city? Into the city where it all began [Chrous 1] You gotta move, you gotta move Whoah, yeah Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma Child, you gotta move (Slash-Man) [Chorus 2] Right to the city where the real men get it Ooh, child, ain't it a pity? Ooooh, oh, yeah Sometimes it gets too shitty Come on and hit me (Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba) [Verse 3] You're on the streets and it ain't so pretty At least you getta do what you please You do what you gotta do for the money At times you end up on your knees Ain't satisfied with the locals and the junkies The city life just one big pain When you goina, goina move to the city Uh, to the city where it all began [Chorus 1] You gotta move, you gotta move, oh, yeah Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma Child, you had to move (Oooooh ...)

Sometimes it gets too shitty Come on and hit me [Outro] (Excitement, cheers, background talking from band and guests) Haha! Wooo! Yeah! Woo! (Inaudible) ... next winter - just look out Uh, huh
