Some people get lucky

Born with a silver spoon

Other people got to work real hard

A whole life of paying dues

One man got a big old house

Fast car and swimming pool

Another man got a big old wife

Ten kids and one bathroom



[PRE-CHORUS]



Sometimes

We're just stuck

Behind

The velvet rope [x2]



[CHORUS]



You gotta jump up so high

Jump up jump over the rope

You gotta jump up so high

Jump up jump the rope



Some people get lucky

Take a chance to strike it rich

Other people wll they bet it all lose

Ain't life a bitch

One man's on the guest list

Arrives in a limousine

Another man got to stand on line

Outside in the pouring rain



[BRIDGE]



We got the world on a string

Wrapped around our fingers

We got everything we need

We don't need a thing

There ain't no rope that can hold us

Nothing keeps us down

There ain't a rope that can bind us

We're gonna jump up off the ground
