top of the world

he's a hit with the ladies
he's hot with the girls
a newborn boy unfurls
sittin on top of the world

sweet as a stick of butter
phat as a gallon of milk
his eyes love the shutter
his skin's as smooth as silk

he's on top of the world

he's on top of the World
Wolfing down a home-cooked meal
his mom and dad surround him
how could you not feel

on top of the world
forget that silver spoon
he picks up a crescent wrench
and holds it up to the moon

he's on top of the world

on top of the world
his parents so proud
they hold him up to the valley
hear his screamin echoing out loud

on top of the world!
