Sittin` On Top of the World

Sittin’ On Top of the World
Verse 1
My name is Ray. This is my house. I have my own room; that’s where I hang out.
Doing my chores is no fun for me. I’d rather watch cartoons on TV.
Chorus
You know I’m just not the kind of boy who likes to be told what to do.
Don’t need to get advice from you.
You know it’s all right. You know it’s easy to see
that everything is always all about me.
No doubt about it—that’s me who’s sittin’ on top of the world!
Verse 2
Got lots of friends who live on my block. When we all meet I like to hear myself talk.
We always play whatever I want. Don’t give what they say a whole lotta thought.
Chorus
You know I’m just not the kind of boy who likes to be told what to do.
Why should I take advice from you?
You know it’s all right. You know it feels mighty good
to know that I’m the king of my neighborhood.
No doubt about it—that’s me who’s sittin’ on top of the world!
Break
Whenever I do anything wrong I like to blame my little brother.
He’s kind of dopy and he usually doesn’t know what’s going on.
Then I give my mom and dad my innocent look—it’s the best face that I make.
I finally perfected it. Nobody knows that it’s a fake.
To find out (lead to verse 3)
Verse 3
where I have been, just follow my mess. That’s what my mom says that I do the best.
I figured it out--if I wait long enough somebody else will pick up my stuff.
Chorus
You know I’m just not the kind of boy who likes to be told what to do.
Don’t need to get advice from you.
You know it’s all right. You know it feels mighty grand
that everybody knows that I am the man.
Well, are you jealous to see me sittin’ on top of the world?
Ending
I’m such a happy boy as long as I can have my way. I want it that way every day.
You know it’s all right. You know it’s easy to see
that everything is always all about me.
No doubt about it. That’s me who’s sittin’ on top of the world!
You should be jealous to see me sittin’ on top of the world!
