SUCCESS…

SUCCESS

«Hey Gilligan, my boy… Success is the word!»

I’m going to travel by jet to the south of France

Hit the fine ladies;

put them in a trance

So party people;

say what you want to do?

Dining on my yacht in Paris too

With the finest clothes and drive a big car

Sun roof, Rolls Royce, and the caviar

Fine wine, champagne, Don Perignon

Party like crazy to the break of dawn

Up and down and on and on

The party won’t stop until we break the law

In my hundred room castle, in Madrid

And walking through the night with my man LC

To be a success above the rest you got to be the best

Able to pass the most vicious test

You got to put it all together, and keep it cool

'cause with success comes money too

You’re gonna take your time to get it right

And work real hard both day and night

You better punch that clock up on the wall

'cause with success, you’ll have a ball

Money, fame, and fortune too

All these things are here for you

If you take your time, relax your mind

Put it all together instead of wiggling your behind

You say you want to be something and have a good life

But how you gonna do it if you don’t think twice

You see your mama gives you love so strong and true

She’s always by your side trying to help you

She said what you can conceive you will achieve

(But in the butt) you will receive

Riches, wealth, and so much fame

You got to pay some dues if you play this game

SUCCESS!

A Mercedes Benz and lots of friends

A condominium, I’m having so much fun

A big bank account, and so much clout

I want to be the one to turn it out

Well I want to be the king of the playboy swing

Have diamond and furs and all the jazzy things

Hang out with Liz, travel round the world

I even have a stable of those fly girls

King in of my chalet

Down for the sun in Montego Bay

Or would you prefer Miami Beach?

It’s not that hard to reach

By boat, by car, or private plane

With cash money, you can go insane

Success!

Success!

Success!

Success!

S-U-C-C-E-S-S That’s the way you spell success!
