Big white mansion
Top of the road
Latest fashion
Happy, don't you know?
Here I am in New York, yeah
See the girl bold and fair ("Yo, Anita!") {Martin sample} 
What's in your backpack today?
Will it take my blues away?
That's OK, "you gotta run"
Huh, check it, I don't need you to have some fun
Comin' from the land of snow
I guess I'm kinda used to cold

But one day I'll have a big white mansion
At the top of the road
I'm gonna wear the latest fashion
I'm gonna be happy, don't you know?

I could use a new guitar
Sing a tune at Chazz' bar
Maybe meet a debutante
Be a toy, do what she want (Tell me what you want to do?)
9 o'clock, see John K.
"But you don't rock, come another day" (When?)
Come another day
Spirit so low reachin' up for ground (Reachin' up for ground)
One day I'm gonna make it in this lonely town

Then I'll live in a big white mansion
At the top of the road
I'm gonna wear the latest fashion
Then I'll be happy, don't you know?

Hey there, what's your name? (What's your name, cutie?)
And can you tell me how to play the game? ("I am a winner") (Listen 2 this)
Do I really have to cut my hair? (No)
Now, that's a cross I could never bear (How 'bout them publishing rights?)
Sell my publishing? What a laugh! (Ha ha)
I don't know Bo, but I do know math (I do know math)
Back to Minneapolis, there you go
You can't find your house underneath the snow

Cause you're livin' in a big white mansion (Oh yes)
At the top of the road
You're wearin' the latest fashion
Tryin' to be happy, don't you know? (Tryin' to be happy, happy)

Big white, big white mansion (Big white mansion)
At the top of the road
You and me wearin' Versace, Gucci (Latest fashion)
Hoochies, they all want to do me (Happy, don't you know?)
But am I really happy?
Big white mansion
Yeah, maybe one day

("Yo, Anita!") {Martin sample}
("Yo, check out that ass!")
