Lyrics:
On a beach
North Africa
Nine tribesmen stand alone
Waiting for a distant call
Waiting for the world to answer
Through' the night of a thousand
and downhearted I took to cloud nine
I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine
Listen one more time I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine
Folks down there tell me
On a beach
North Africa
Nine tribesmen stand alone
Waiting for a distant call
Waiting for the world to answer
Through' the night of a thousand
is hard to tell
Unwavering illusion
What do you really sell?
Ninety-nine
Nine nine nine nine nine
Nine nine nine nine
Ninety-nine
Nine nine
Bottle of claret for you if I'd realised
I'd forgotten all about it George, I'm sorry,
Will you forgive me?
Mmm yes
Number nine, number nine
Just follow the stairway
To this lonely world of mine
You'll find me waitin' here
In apartment number 9
Not so very long ago
You walked
Oh, oh, yeah
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness
Ninety-nine pounds of soul, oh, oh
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness
that
Oh, oh, yeah
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness
Ninety-nine pounds of soul, oh, oh
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness

Just Follow the stairway, to this lonely world of mine.
You'll find me waiting here, in apartment number nine.
Not so very long ago, you walked
Drivin' on 9
You could be a shadow
Beneath the street light
Behind my home
Drivin' on 9
I sure miss you
Pass a motel
Looking
She left twenty-nine broken hearts
Broken in twenty-nine parts
Now there are twenty-nine fellas complainin' to their moms
About the lady from 29
The star is in Norman's office. his day
Of sweat and toil has begun.
Nine to five
Answering phones and dictating letters
Making decisions that
Nine nine nine Emergency (Emergency)
Nine nine nine Emergency (Emergency)
Nine nine nine Emergency (Emergency)
Nine nine nine Emergency
Oh no!
Nine
and downhearted I took to cloud nine,
I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine.
Listen one more time I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine.
Folks down there tell me,
and downhearted I took to cloud nine,
I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine.
Listen one more time I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine.
Folks down there tell me,
and downhearted I took to cloud nine,
I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine.
Listen one more time I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine.
Folks down there tell me,
Just follow the stairway
To this lonely world of mine
You'll find me waitin' here
In apartment number 9
Not so very long ago
You walked
Big shiny nine she's mine all mine
Flowin' down the front of my old blue jeans
Big shiny nine she'll fall so fine
Waitin to impress my hippie
already failing
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine (this is me in grade nine)
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade
and downhearted I took to cloud nine,
I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine.
Listen one more time I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine.
Folks down there tell me,
told you not to
But that didn't stop you
Finally twenty-nine
Funny, just like you were at the time
Thought it was a teenage dream
Just a fantasy
