With upward mobility
 Walked and talked like a man
 But that was o.k. by me
 Two bit losers can never be choosers
 No nit pickin? kickin? the can

 Livin? in the lap
 Livin? in the lap of luxury

 Seventeen self abusals
 Got me twenty blind, flat refusals
 While she?s dressin? all in white
 I?m gettin? set up for my life
 Hard work never stopped the dance
 But provin? it just ain?t worth the chance

 Livin? in the lap
 Livin? in the lap of luxury

 Everything?s alrighty by me
 With risin? credibility
 I?m leavin? a mark with my indelability
 She?s earnin? the money
 I?m servin? the honey
 Bring it on home to the hive---no jive

 Livin? in the lap
 Livin? in the lap of luxury
