Grease Got a Hold

Hear ye, hear ye

As the gloopiest, gooiest, grimiest grease in the land

Lubricates our finest automobiles

Assembly lines, and fried chicken dinners

Let it be known that Ponyboy Curtis

Of the East Side of Tulsa, Oklahoma

Is about to be officially lubed up

And added to the ranks of Greasers all over the globe

Ponyboy, I think it's time you learn

That grease isn't given, its something that you earn

Some of us are smooth like James Dean

Some of us are cold and a little more mean

Time to be tough and quick on your feet

There ain't no way a boy can make it out on the street

Unless you're mean as a fighter and you're sharp as a blade

Play it cool, little brother, and you'll have it made

No, we ain't got money, but we got something to prove

You're a Greaser now and you ain't going back

You're an eastbound train on a greased-up track

Let it be known that the grease got a hold on you

G is for getting a lick and not giving

A shit 'cause you're tough on the chin

R is for your reputation because if you lose it then you'll never win

E is to even the score when

The Socs come at you with all that they got

A: you're an animal, S: you've got stamina, E is embracing your lot

No, no, its' not about getting your licks

It's about licking your gets

Chicks love a busted-up face

G is for getting the girls every time

'Cause you got irresistible charm

R is for reeling them in and then

Keeping the prettiest one on your arm

E is for effortless swagger, the kind that the ladies can never deny

A for affected but not too selective, and E is for catching their eye

It ain't just about busting heads and chasing tail

Sometimes you gotta stop and smell the motor oil

Show us how it's done then, Einstein!

I might not be the sharpest tack in the box

I'm a latchkey kid, but they keep changing the locks

I ain't no sweet-talkin' Romeo but I can fight

You better bet your life

So play it mean as a fighter and be sharp as a blade

Play it cool, little brother, and you'll have it made

No, we ain't got money, but we got something to prove
