Big white mansion

Top of the road

Latest fashion

Happy, don't U know?



Here I am in New York, yeah

See the girl bold and fair ("Yo, Anita!") {Martin sample}

What's in your backpack 2day?

Will it take my blues away?

That's OK, "U gotta run..."

Huh, check it, I don't need U 2 have some fun

Comin' from the land of snow

I guess I'm kinda used 2 cold



But one day I'll have a big white mansion

At the top of the road

I'm gonna wear the latest fashion

I'm gonna be happy, don't U know?



I could use a new guitar

Sing a tune at Chazz' bar

Maybe meet a debutante

Be a toy, do what she want (Tell me what U wanna do?)

9 o'clock, see John K.

"But U don't rock, come another day" (When?)

Come another day

Spirit so low reachin' up 4 ground (Reachin' up 4 ground)

One day I'm gonna make it in this lonely town



Then I'll live in a big white mansion

At the top of the road

I'm gonna wear the latest fashion

Then I'll be happy, don't U know?



Hey there, what's your name? (What's your name, cutie?)

And can U tell me how 2 play the game? ("I am a winner") (Listen 2 this)

Do I really have 2 cut my hair? (No)

Now, that's a cross I could never bear (How 'bout them publishing

rights?)

Sell my publishing? What a laugh! (Ha ha)

I don't know Bo, but I do know math (I do know math)

Back 2 Minneapolis, there U go

U can't find your house underneath the snow



Cuz U're livin' in a big white mansion (Oh yes)

At the top of the road

U're wearin' the latest fashion

Tryin' 2 be happy, don't U know? (Tryin' 2 be happy, happy)



Big white, big white mansion (Big white mansion)

At the top of the road

U and me wearin' Versace, Gucci (Latest fashion)

Hoochies, they all wanna do me (Happy, don't U know?)

But am I really happy?

Big white mansion

Yeah, maybe one day



("Yo, Anita!") {Martin sample}

("Yo, check out that ass!")
