[Dennis:] The childhood part of my life Wasn't very pretty, see... [Temptations:] Boom, boom-boom, boom [Dennis:] I was born and raised In the slums of the city, [Temptations:] Boom, boom-boom, boom [Dennis:] It was a one-room shack That slept ten other children beside me, [Temptations:] Boom, boom-boom, boom [Dennis:] We hardly enough food Or room to sleep [Temptations:] Boom, boom-boom, boom [Dennis:] It was hard times... I needed somethin' to ease my troubled mind [Dennis:] Oooh listen... My father didn't know the meaning of work [Temptations:] Boom, boom-boom, boom [Dennis:] He disrespected mama, And treated us like dirt [Temptations:] Boom, boom-boom, boom [Dennis:] I left home seeking a job That I never could find [Temptations:] Boom, boom-boom, boom [Dennis:] The pressure came down hard And I took to cloud nine [Temptations:] Boom, boom-boom, boom [Paul:] I'm doing fine Up here, on cloud nine [Dennis:] A one more time [Paul:] I'm doing fine Up here, on cloud nine [Dennis:] Folks down there tell me... [Dennis:] They say give yourself a chance And don't let life pass you by, [Temptations:] Woo, woo, woo [Dennis:] But the world, say, is a rat race Where only the strongest survive, It's a dog-eat-dog world And that ain't no lie, [Temptations:] Ain't no lie [Dennis:] It ain't even safe no more To walk the streets at night [Temptations:] I'm doing fine On cloud nine [Temptations:] Cloud nine [Paul:] You can be what you want to be [Temptations:] Cloud Nine [Dennis:] You ain't got no responsibility [Temptations:] Cloud Nine [Eddie:] And every man, every man is free [Temptations:] Cloud nine [Dennis:] You're a million miles from reality [Paul:] Reality [Temptations:] I wanna' say up [Eddie and Otis:] Higher [Temptations:] Up and up, Up and away [Temptations:] Cloud nine [Eddie:] I wanna' say I love the life I live, And I'm going to live, the life I love Or be on cloud nine... I, I, I, I, I, I'm ridin' high [Temptations:] On cloud nine [Dennis:] You're as free as a burning flame [Temptations:] Cloud nine Melvin: There's no difference between day and night [Temptations:] Cloud nine [Eddie:] It's a world of love and harmony [Temptations:] Cloud nine [Dennis:] You're a million miles from reality [Paul:] Reality [Temptations:] I wanna' say up [Eddie and Otis:] Higher [Temptations:] Up and up, up and away [Temptations:] Cloud Nine [Paul:] You can be what you want to be, ah [Temptations:] Cloud nine [Dennis:] You ain't got no responsibility [Temptations:] Cloud nine [Eddie:] Every man in his mind is free [Temptations:] Cloud nine [Dennis:] You're a million miles from reality [Temptations:] Cloud nine [Paul:] You can be what you want to be [Temptations: all of them weave in and out with ad libs] [Choruses of "Boom-booms"] [Fade to end]
