I Got Life

[CLAUDE, spoken]
Well, if you really wanna know, 1947...

(sung)
I got life, mother
I got laughs, sister
I got freedom, brother
I got good times, man

I got crazy ways, daughter
I got million dollar charm, cousin
I got headaches and toothaches
And bad times, too
Like you

I got my hair
I got my head
I've got my brains
I got my ears
Got my eyes
Got my nose
Got my mouth
Got my teeth

I got my tongue
Got my chin
Got my neck
Got my tits
Got my heart
Got my soul
Got my back
I got my ass

Got my arms
Got my hands
Got my fingers
Got my legs
Got my feet
Got my toes
Got my liver
I got my blood

[CLAUDE, (TRIBE)]
I got life, (He's got life) mother
I got laughs, (He's got laughs) sister
I got headaches and toothaches
And bad times, too
Like you

[CLAUDE & BERGER, (TRIBE)]
I got my hair
Got my head
Got my brains
Got my ears
Got my eyes
Got my nose
Got my mouth (I got my mouth)
I got my teeth (I got my teeth, I got my teeth)

Got my tongue
I got my chin
Got my neck
Got my tits
Got my heart
Got my soul
Got my back (I got my back)
Got my ass (I got my ass, I got my ass)

Got my arms
Got my hands
Got my fingers
Got my legs
Got my feet
I got my toes
Got my liver
Got my blood

I got my guts (Got my guts)
I got my muscles (Got my muscles)
I got life! (Life!)
Life! (Life!)
Life! (Life!)
Life! (Life!)
Life! (Life!)
Life! (Life!)

[CLAUDE, BERGER & TRIBE]
Life!

[MOM, spoken]
And you got a lot of nerve, baby!

[CLAUDE]
And I'm gonna spread it around the world, mother
And I'm gonna spread it around the world, sister
And I'm gonna spread it around the world, brother
So everybody knows what I've got...

[TRIBE]
Amen!
Amen!
