I grew from monkey into manThen I crushed 15 million with a wave of my handI grew drunk on water turned into wine'Till I was slave and master at the same damn timeBut it's why I amIt's why I amWhy I am still here dancing with the GrooGrux KingOut of my head and into the room foreverA king of men it makes no senseAll bow to you while I worship the wenchBut it's why I amThe only one to make you smileWhy I amA snake in the wood pileWhy I amOh still here dancing with the GrooGrux KingOut of my head and into the roomSo when my ghost takes me from youYou can remember the fool that I amDon't cry babyDon't cryIt's the lose and the win of the worldWrong and the rightUs and them of the worldIt's the you and the me of the worldOnly one way out of the worldIt's the lose and the win of the worldWrong and the rightUs and them of the worldIt's the you and the me of the worldOnly one way out of the worldIt's why I amUnlikely to agreeWhy I amRunnin' up my monkey treeWhy I am still here dancing with the GrooGrux KingWe'll be drinking Big Whiskey while we dance and singWhen my story ends it's gonna end with himHeaven or hell I'm going there with the GrooGrux KingWhy I amColor of your pretty eyeWhy I amA snake in the wood pileWhy I am still here dancing with the GrooGrux KingOut of my head and into the roomSo when my ghost takes me from youYou can remember the fool that I amDon't cry babyDon't cry
