1
The childhood part of my life
2
Wasn't very pretty
3
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
4
See, I was born and raised
5
In the slums of the city
6
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
7
It was a one-room shack
8
That slept ten other children beside me
9
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
10
We hardly enough food
11
Or room to sleep
12
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
13
It was hard times, needed somethin'
14
To ease my troubled mind
15
Ooh, listen
16
My father didn't know the meaning of work
17
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
18
He disrespected mama
19
And treated us like dirt
20
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
21
I left home seeking a job
22
That I never did find
23
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
24
Depressed and down-hearted
25
I took to cloud nine
26
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
27
I'm doing fine up here, on cloud nine
28
Listen, one more time
29
I'm doing fine up here, on cloud nine
30
Folks down there tell me
31
They say give yourself a chance, son
32
Don't let life pass you by
33
(Woo, woo, woo-oo)
34
But the world, around you, is a rat race
35
Where only the strongest survive
36
It's a dog-eat-dog world
37
And that ain't no lie
38
(Ain't no lie)
39
Listen, it ain't even safe no more
40
To walk the streets at night
41
I'm doing fine, on cloud nine
42
Let me tell you 'bout cloud nine
43
(Cloud nine)
44
You can be what you want to be
45
(Cloud nine)
46
You ain't got no responsibility
47
(Cloud nine)
48
And every man, every man is free
49
(Cloud nine)
50
And you're a million miles from reality, reality
51
I wanna' stay up higher
52
Up up, up and away, cloud nine
53
I wanna' say I love the life I live
54
And I'm going to live, the life I love
55
Or be on cloud nine
56
I, I, I, I, I, I'm ridin' high on cloud nine
57
You're as free as a bird in flight
58
(Cloud nine)
59
There's no difference between day and night
60
(Cloud nine)
61
It's a world of love and harmony
62
(Cloud nine)
63
You're a million miles from reality, reality
64
I wanna' stay up higher
65
Up up, up and away, cloud nine
66
You can be what you want to be, ah
67
(Cloud nine)
68
You ain't got no responsibility
69
(Cloud nine)
70
Every man in his mind is free
71
(Cloud nine)
72
You're a million miles from reality
73
(Cloud nine)
74
You can be what you want to be
75
Boom boom boom
