Yes, we're movin' on up to the east side
To a deluxe apartment in the sky
Movin' on up to the east side
We finally got a piece of the pie
Fish don't fry in the kitchen
Beans don't burn on the grill
Took a whole lotta tryin'
Just to get up that hill
Now we're up in the big leagues
Gettin' our turn at bat
As long as we live, it's you and me, baby
There ain't nothin' wrong with that
Well we're movin' on up to the east side
To a deluxe apartment in the sky
Movin' on up to the east side
We finally got a piece of the pie
